I installed Wampserver 2.4 on Windows 7 just now. It was beyond frustrating for about 2 hours, then I finally browsed enough posts to figure it out.
My problem: I had the orange icon and the local host gave me nothing.
I did 2 things:
1.) I went to system 32/drivers/host and deleted the # in front of the ip address.
2.) Go to Apache > Service > Install Service. Hit enter. If there's an error, that's an important error. See this page by Steve Martin:

I followed that, installed Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package x64, restarted services. Green light. Everything works.
