Just to expand on that - Skype is sometimes configured to run on Port 80, the same port that Apache uses for http requests. You can configure Skype to not use that port - I don't recall the exact way to do so, but you can search this forum for specifics.
If not Skype, are you using IIS? If so (or if you're not sure) try running this from the command line:
NET STOP w3svc
That will stop IIS if it's running already, or give you a message that it wasn't running in the first place.
If neither of those work then open a command prompt and type "c:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.8\bin\httpd.exe -t" It should respond with "Syntax OK" If not, there is something wrong with your Apache conf files. Next type "c:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.8\bin\httpd.exe" - if Apache can't start it will report the reason. If the reason is something like "could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:xxx" then run "netstat -a -b -o > c:\windows\temp\netstat.txt". When the command completes open c:\windows\temp\netstat.txt with a text editor and search for the number after the colon from the previous Apache error message (0.0.0.0
XX). If you find it, the process listed is already using that port. You'll have to stop the process or service, or reconfigure it to use another port (or configure WAMP's Apache to use a different port.)
