WampServer

With wamp 2.0 I've been able to access [localhost] with no problems. I recently installed MySQL ODBC 5.1 driver because a business application of mine required it -- but now I can't access [localhost]. I just get a blank screen. If I run MySQL Administrator I get:

Could not connect to the specified instance
MySQL error number 2003
Can't connect to MySQL server localhost (10061)

I can't figure it out. Wamp shows 1/3 red and 2/3 white. I can't get wampmysqld service to start.

Hope this all makes sense. I'm new to this and am baffled as to how to resolve. Any ideas?

UPDATE

Changed MySQL Administrator configuration file to "C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.1.30\my.ini" (section name: wampmysqld). Then clicked the Start Service button. Here is the log:

Trying to start the server ...

UPDATE

Uh, apparent port conflict with Skype was preventing Apache service from starting. Exit Skype and all is well.
