Wampserver 2.2 on Windows 7 Orange Icon Nothing in error files

Ok. So I've installed Wampserver 2.2 on my WIndows 7 computer....on starting wamp, the icon goes from red to orange and just stays orange. I can't run any php files. I hover over it and all it says is that the server is offline. Both apache and php error files are empty. I've tried running as administrator and even changed the compatibility to Windows XP sp2. I do not have skype on my computer. I do have google talk. Any ideas on what to do to get wamp running?

Look in Apache's httpd.conf file and see what port it wants to use, then see if any other programs are using the same port.

I struggled with this for hours on end on different machines. Often one solution did not work on the next machine. This is what I, by trial and error, found out worked like a charm every time.

Installed WAMP on win7 POS

Add MSVCR100.dll to System32 Install VB 2008 Install WAMP Disable World wide web publishing service in Services Start WAMP as administrator. Finished. No need to edit httpd.conf, no need to edit hosts-file and no need to disable IIS.

A total install of WAMP following these steps take well under ten minutes. Hope it does the trick for you as well.
