No need to reconfigure WAMP. You are better of opening Skype and going to TOOLS > OPTIONS > Connections and un-checking the use of PORT 80 as an alternative port for incoming calls

Close Skype, then open again for changes to take affect. WAMP should now be able to start,

find your httpd.conf file in the wamp directory c:/wamp/bin/apache/apache2.11 /conf and find the line

Listen 80

Or just disable skype using port 80 (it's in connection options)
