Seems like your php installation might be the reason for your woes.

I know it's not what you're asking, but FWIW, I've had good luck installing Apache on Windows as part of "XAMPP" (apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html)...

i'll try when i get home tonight, but i ran this through services

while apache on Windows is very much alike to Apache on Linux, there are different ways of starting apache, on Linux its done through apachectl or init.d script on Windows it's done most commonly through services or through apache's monitor utility.
