Apache won't start T_T

What does this error mean: "Unclean shutdown of previous run"? How do I fix it?

It appears in a quickly-disappearing console when I try to start Apache.

The reason Apache shutdown 'uncleanly' was that I accidentally (and stupidly, I know) bumped the case thereby dislodging the heatsink, overheating the CPU and causing the system to shut down.

Please help. Very upset. TIA.

Edit: I was using WAMP. Specifically, when my setup *worked* I had phpdev 423 installed.

Edit++: After uninstalling and reinstalling over and over and deleting all files every time, installing phpdev 5 worked. No idea why. Thanks to those who've helped so far.
