WampServer

I have installed WAMP server to use wordpress locally on my machine. I got to the point when I am supposed to click on the localhost link in the wamp server menu. When I do that the browser opens and I get a message: "You are not authorized to view this page". Below is the whole message. I am sure there is a simple fix for that, I just cannot find it. Thanks for any ideas.

IIS (Internet Information Services ) and Apache/Wamp are both web server and might conflict in some way, so you have to disable IIS in order for Wamp to work

Disable IIS in Vista/W7:

Control Panel, Uninstall Programs, Turn Widows Features On or Off, uncheck Internet Information Services

Disable IIS in XP:

Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows Components, uncheck Internet Information Services (IIS)

Restart computer, then restart Wamp

Also, in folder C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc, open file hosts and delete anything in this file and have only this line below and nothing else

127.0.0.1 localhost

If using Skype, open Skype > Tools > Options > Advanced > Connection uncheck "use port 80..." restart Wamp then Skype
