Follow Up... I have leaned a lot from this process. I had said that XAMPP worked, what I learned was I loaded Apache as a program and not as a Service. When I loaded it as a Service my php script failed with code 58, too.
The solution of using the "admin account" on their service worked.
I just did want to imply that XAMPP was working better then WampServer, as I prefer WAMP, I am
