So Steve,
It wasn't a conflict with port 80.
It wasn't the hosts file...
It wasn't the ::1 that was the issue...
My computer is listen to 127.0.0.1
The WAMP Icon is Green so as you mentioned the ports are fine
If I replace localhost with 127.0.0.1 at least it gets through to the file but doesn't compile it.
I promise to write this all down... investigate it and write your manual for
