Make sure to enable port 80 in all firewalls and routers for wamp to work

It depends on firewalls and routers you're using; different ones have different ways to do it, so you have to find out yourself. If you want to get help from here, you have to post which firewalls and routers you're using

I had the same problem to. If you have skype shut down skype. Skype uses also port 80.
It worked for me!

You should change it to different port because it's very inconvenient to type in other port along w/ your web address every time to access your websites no matter it's local or global

You can use some other ports as you like, but for HTTP, the good ports are 80, 81, 8080, and make sure to enable that port in all firewalls as well; then access as follows:

localhost:81
