WAMP doesn't need to be set to Server online for localhost to work. When wamp is set to Server online it means it'll accept connections from external addresses (eg internet).
Can you confirm the wamp tray icon is white? Also what happens if you go to [
127.0.0.1]
If 127.0.0.1 works, check your hosts file (C:/Windows/system32/drivers/etc) contains the following line
127.0.0.1 localhost
if your cant find it add it.
NOTE: If you're using Windows Vista or Windows 7 you'll have to first open your editor with elevated privileges, for example Goto Start > All Programmes > Accessories. Right click Notepad and select Open as Administrator. Now go to File > Open and type the following in the Filename box
C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Click Open. After changes go to File > Save
