WampServer

Yesterday I tried to instal Wampserver 3 (32 bit) on a Win 7 PC. After lots of trouble getting the correct versions of VC installed and shutting down Skype, I had it working correctly. I have a domain name pointing to my PC and could access it over the internet. Everything looked good.
I shut down the PC overnight.
Today I powered back up and when I start Wampserver, the logo stays red and says "local server - none of 2 services running". I tried restarting services and it didn't help. When I test port 80 it says 'not found associated with TCP protocol'
All logs are empty. HOSTS file looks good.
Please can anyone suggest some diagnostic approach I could adopt?
Thank you
FL

Hi,

Is it possible that you did not start WAMPServer today "As an Administrator"??

AAArrrrgggghhhh!!!
You are so right. How did I miss that?
It is not mentioned in the list of 20 things to check!!
The list only mentions the installation.
AND - thank you.

Oh,

It is in the WAMPServer 3 All you need to know

-- The installer must be run "as an administrator" --
Install Wampserver 3.0.0 as an administrator but do not run Wampmanager at the end of installation.
Modify Wampmanager shortcuts to "Run as administrator" with Properties -> Shortcut tab -> Advanced button -> check "Run as administrator", Press OK or Apply.
Launch Wampmanager via this Shortcut.

Indeed.
And yet again you are correct.
My apologies - it's late, I need some sleep.
I failed to read the detail about running BOTH as administrator.
To bed!!
