WampServer

Hi,

I am having a problem with my wamp install. I have done a thorough search and found no effective solution.

The problem is I am unable to start Apache. I have been running Wamp (new install) with no problems for 2 months now. I have made no changes recently but for some reason this morning Apache isn't working and the server is online though it's normally offline. Below is my system data and the steps I have taken so far.

I am willing to try completely removing and reinstalling Wamp but I am not sure how to back up my databases without having access to PHPMyAmin.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated,

Penny
