404 Error Page when try to start LocalHost/phpMyAdmin

I been trying all day to get wamp server started. Just have no luck and figure its best to ask on the forums. I'm currently using Windows XP, and I'm assuming that somehow Wampserver is not configured with my localhost and that's why is not working. Anyone knows how to get it to work?

Make sure no other program conflict Wamp such as IIS, Microsoft Web Deploy, SQL, Skype, Zonealarm, firewall/antivirus, NOD32, Eset, any web related program including Remote Desktop, Teamviewer or Apache, MySQL, PHP outside wamp folder (ie. in Program Files or System32 folder) ...

IIS and Apache/Wamp are both web server and might conflict in some way, so you have to disable IIS in order for Wamp to work

Disable IIS in Vista/W7:

Control Panel, Uninstall Programs, Turn Widows Features On or Off, uncheck Internet Information Services

Disable IIS in XP:

Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows Components, uncheck Internet Information Services (IIS)

Restart computer, then restart Wamp

Also, in folder C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc, open file hosts and delete anything in this file and have only this line below and nothing else

127.0.0.1 localhost

If using Skype, open Skype > Tools > Options > Advanced > Connection then uncheck "use port 80..." restart Wamp then Skype

Thank you for your help. I am still struggling to get it to work. I done all the things you said above. I even went to run -> cmd, typed 'netstat -aon' to check that nothing is occupying port 80 but it still doesn't work. I don't know if there are files that are standing in the way, I tried to shut down all my programs to see if it will work but it hasn't.

Try this: through wamp tray icon, open file httpd.conf and find
listen 80
Change to
listen 8181
Restart wamp, then in browser use this 'http://localhost:8181'
If it works, you have to find out if your ISP blocks port 80 or something is occupied that port and you have to correct it
