    thanks!

  5. just download this free tool CurrPorts . it tell you which application using this your 443 port or whatever it is. and you just stop t he process.

    second thing is if it show you the port is busy then go task manager and go to process and see the port number and the process which holds the port .just stop process and its done .its applicable in case of error: os 10048

    now enjoy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
