If the server isn't starting up, he won't be able to set that on the
Server Settings > Network page. :-)

It would have to be done by editing slimserver.pref in the server
folder.  Open the file using Wordpad and search for the 9000 and change
it.

Then try starting up SlimServer again from the Windows Services applet
(Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services,
then look for SlimServer).  BTW, going to the services applet would be
another way to check if the SlimServer service is currently running. 
If it is, then the Status will show as 'Started'.

Probably just easier using bpa's suggestion of trying to start
SlimServer from the command-line using the --httpport 9001 option. 
Once it's running on that port and the web interface is accessible,
then the port could be changed permanently to 9001 using the Server
Settings > Network page.

Don't forget that if you run on port 9001 that you'll also have to open
this port in any firewalls that are running on the same machine.  Until
things are going, though, I'd disable any firewalls.
