Hi koc001,
The best solution for any project or downloaded app/tool is to create a Virtual Host for that application to run in.
See this post for Information
WordPress is well know for its annoying use of the domain name that the site was originally installed into being saved into its database, making moving a site less than straight forward. There are probably hundereds of documents out there on the internet describing how to overcome this when you move a site from one domain to another, which of course is what you are doing when you move a LIVE site to WAMPServer.
Some of them may actually be useful, but again you are best advised to go to the WordPress Codex web site for a definitive answer.

My signature comment
when all else fails Read The Manuals is supposed to be ironic.
It is supposed to suggest that in fact
the manual should be
the first place you look.
Questions about not understanding how WordPress works are not actually what this site is for.
To be honest questions coming from a lack of understanding of how Apache or MySQL or PHP work are not strictly relevant,
although I normally do my best to help, when I have the time. However occasionally when I am tired and its late at night and the questioner appears to have done little or nothing to solve thereown problems before posting here, I get a little fructrated and occasionally allow this to show in my post.
Remember the guys at AlterWay did not write Apache or MySQL or PHP, they just collected them up into a neatly installable package.
Then added a nice little tool Wampmanager that allows us to interact with Apache and MySQL in an easier way than having to do it all manually and the ultimately great feature of being able to switch between versions of Apache, MySQL and PHP incredibly easily.
RE: Your laughable comment about me
TROLLINGCan I assume that you are therefore prepared to spend a few hours a week on this site helping out those with less knowledge than yourself. It would be good to get a little help as I seem to be the only regular contributor here!
