Hey there Folks,
I've just realized that it might be hard to use wamp server for Windows Vista users unless they know one interesting thing.
If you wish to start wampserver and make it work you must start is as admin!
To start it as i said, just do the following:
Go to start menu>programs>Wamp Server>
Then click right mouse button on "start Wampserver" and choose run as administrator.
That's it, now it must work tongue sticking out smiley

For Skype users that have problem about apache and port 80 do the following:
Open httpd.conf (you can found it once started wamp easily)

Then find a place like this:

#
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
#
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses (0.0.0.0)
#
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80

Change last line (Listen 80)
To whatever port you'd like, for example:

Listen 1337

Then access your web using this adress:

[127.0.0.1]
1337 - the port you've wrote in httpd.conf (You can add almost any port while it's free.)

Have fun :w
