WampServer

I have installed WAMP 1.6.6 and everything seemed to get installed correctly. The localhost page is displayed correctly and any other HTML pages work fine.

When I try to view a PHP page I get the following error message

Apache HTTP Server has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

This happens with all php pages that I try to load - even

<?php phpinfo() ?>

causes my apache to fail.

I have to restart all services to get Apache running again.

I am running on Windows XP Home SP2.

Can anyone help please?????????

some people reported that it's a bug in php5.2.0 which comes w/ wamp1.6.6, so suggest that uninstall and reinstall w/ 1.6.5 which i'm using w/o any problem as seen here

But i afraid that in my windows system have some old files for php4 , what crash php5.

For what it's worth, I installed WAMP 1.6.6 and it worked straight out of the box. Well okay, I did mangle the root password within the first five minutes, but that's been fixed. :-)
