Wampserver services do not start
I installed Wampserver3 yesterday on my Win7 laptop. After a few hours of troubleshooting (reinstalling, installation of VC versions, etc.) the icon finally went green. Today I rebooted my laptop and unfortunately the icon is red ('None of 2 services is running'). The interesting thing is that I am not even able to install the Apache and Mysql services within Wampserver: the Mysql installation does not start at all, the Apache installation quits after I press ENTER. (Yesterday, when somehow Wampserver managed to run, I did not have these problems of course.)
I have already done and checked these, no improvement:
- None of my programmes uses port 80, and I also tried to change the Apache port to 8080. No Skype is running.
- No IIS is running.
- There are no php.ini or my.ini files on the C disk (apart from the ones in the wamp dir).
- No firewall blocking on the Wampserver.
- In the Computer Manangement I changed the startup type of wampapache and wampmysqld services to automatic and (in the Log on tab) allowed them to interact with desktop.
- In the hosts file there is only the '127.0.0.1 localhost' line.
- I installed all the VC versions.
- I installed the Wampserver on a root folder on C disk, as required.
- I did not reinstall Wampserver on a previous version.
After a new reinstallation the Apache error log looks like this:

I guess these lines appear because I forced the services to run in the Computer Management / Services - there is no reaction if I start them within Wampserver, using 'Start All Services'.
Can anybody help, please? I've been reading forums and troubleshooting tips for hours, and really tried everything I could. Among others, I followed the instructions of the wampserver troubleshooting page.
EDIT:
I checked the Event Viewer. The only relevant errors were:
The wampmysqld service is marked as an interactive service. However, the system is configured to not allow interactive services. This service may not function properly.
And the same with wampapache. I followed the instructions of Microsoft to this problem, no improvement.
