Hi,
I have the same problem - this sucks!
I believe it's related directly to PHP4/PHP5 Add-on, here's why, and what happened. I installed Wamp, and ran it, all ran fine, and I connectted to my localhost, and even ran PhpMyAdmin fine. Then I installed the MySQL admin Add-On, again, worked fine, all is well...
Then I installed the PHP4.4.4 ADD-ON for WAMP5 1.6.5, NOW, still everything works, when I connect to index.php it shows that I have Php version 4.4.4 instead of 5.x.x as it did previously... then I click on the Wamp Control Panel and choose Switch to PHP5, after this - I return and Ctrl->Reload on index.php, still it shows PHP4, then I try several other things, not sure what they all are but for sure stopping/starting services, etc, etc... because now when I try reload all I see is 'Cannot Find Server', then I notice Apache is NOT RUNNING, and will NOT run again! What a pain in the ass! Now, I follow all of your instructions, every time I see the same thing as above:
'your port 80 is not actually used',
I check BOTH Firewalls McAfee AND Microsoft (which is NOT running) and I setup to allow Apache, but Apache will NOT start no matter how many times I choose to Re-start service... so it looks like I'm back to manually messing with all of the files, what a crock... I just wanted to setup a test environement for PHP4/PHP5, now I've got hours of wasted time spent - and nothing to show for it... so I'm off to check out this link:

devzone.zend.com]
Let me know if you ever solve this - it's too bad really as it looks like a great thing, but apparently Apache, or something has changed since you got this working properly, I suspect you'll have hundreds of people with this problem when they try installing this new version ; (
Thanks,
