apache can't be runned - solution?

Hi all,

Had EasyPHP working under Vista last week, and mysteriously this week it has been failing to start - kept getting the message about "Apache can't be runned: port being used or blocked by firewall" (or something pretty similar)

Couldn't find any processes that were using port 80...so I was really confused... getting ready to revert back to my old machine and XP even!
...but, I have found by going into the EasyPHP config and unchecking the box "check servers TCP port before starting", that suddenly EasyPHP runs as it always used to.

So my question - am I likely to have any problems now that I have unchecked that box? What can I expect? I only use EasyPHP for purely local testing before uploading to my production site, so no remote/network users involved...

Thanks in advance
