Make sure no other program conflict wamp such as IIS, Skype, Zonealarm, firewall/antivirus, NOD32, Eset, any web related program ...

IIS 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 and untick "use port 80..." then restart Wamp then Skype

Recommend you download and install some text editor such as Notepad++, Editpad... so you can save file "hosts" w/o extension
