I have Windows 7 32 bit and wanted to work on wordpress to host my own page but to do that I got virtual server WAMP Server V 2.5 and after installing it, icon in taskbar was orange and after right and left clicking, there was no menu.
I read many forums, disabled IIS and restarted and nothing. Also uninstalled, deleted directory on c:, installed again but same result, no menu, orange icon. I'm not a tech expert, so pls 'customize' your answers keeping this in mind. I have no idea how to check logs etc So pls let me know.
Much obliged.
Forgot to mention that hovering mouse over icon it says, 1 of 2 services running-server offline. I typed localhost and an IIS image showed up. So, after disabling IIS and restarting, my WAMP icon has disappeared altogether. So I enabled IIS again but the IIS does not check altogether as its 'shaded' (the FTP option is unchecked). After this I restarted and the WAMP icon did'nt show again. This happened yesterday and I reinstalled WAMP as I did now but still nothing. Also inside the WAMP folder, there is no apache folder nor is there any menu display from the WAMP icon on taskbar as mentioned above. Which other way is there to find out about the port my WAMP is using. And I dont have Skype.

I use this way to solve my problem. Click Wampserver icon -> Apache -> Service Administration -> Install Service -> click on wampserver icon again -> Apache -> Service Administration -> Start/Resume Service.
