Yes, I do know you're admin, but my question is "did you setup to run wamp as admin?" because that was the way I setup wamp 1.7.0 in my new Toshiba laptop that come w/ vista I've just bought 2 days ago, and to make it clear, I'm not REALLY sure if wamp 1.7.0 should be setup the same for other os, including w2k.
Have fun
