After installing WAMP server, I want to setup a DataBase. But when I click on phpMyAdamin I get a blank page.
I have a PC, windows7 and use Firefox.

Please check your HOSTS file, and make sure it has a reference to

127.0.0.1 localhost


HOW TO EDIT THE HOSTS FILE
The hosts file is protected by windows, in order to save it you must have Administrator privilages.
Vista/W7/W8 you may think you are an Administrator BUT YOU ARE NOT.

To successfully save the hosts file do this to launch your editor with Admin Privilages.

Locate your editors icon on the desktop or from the Start menus ( notepad will do if you have nothing else )
left click + shift over your chosen editor icon - will show a menu.
select "Run As Administrator" from the menu.
Navigate your editor to the c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file.

When you have made changes you will now be allowed to save them.

I have four(4) lines with 127.0.0.1 localhost. Does it make a difference?

It was suggested to me that I might have a conflict with port80. I have Skype. If so how do I get around it?

How to Configure SKYPE so it does not require port 80 or 443

Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Connection

Un-Check the checkbox next to 'Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incomming connections'
