On my computer (it's a Windows 7 64 bit machine), I'm using IIS. Now I'm want to use XMAPP. Both are using the same port of 80. Is it somehow possible to disable IIS so that XMAPP works?

Right click my computer, Goto Manage, Expand "Services and Applications", find the "World Wide Web Publishing Service" and stop it.

Alternatively un-install IIS.

Or Set XMAAP to run on a different port.

It is better to change the port of XAMPP. Go to the installation directory>Apache>conf>httpd.conf. Find the line where it says Listening and edit the port number there to your own liking. Just make sure it is not in use. Restart XAMPP and you're good to go.

Like the others I'd just recommend running Apache (XAMPP) on another port, 8080 should suffice.

Then just navigate to http/localhost:8080/ to access XAMPP instead of IIS7

Unless there is a particular reason you absolutely cannot just run on an alternative port then stopping the WWW Publishing Service before starting XAMPP will do the trick, although I'd strongly recommend just running Apache (XAMPP) on a different port.
