wamp on w7

I am using windows 7 home premium 32bit ..
I tried to install wamp server 2.2 . But it did not install properly.
mine is intel core i3 M350..
Anyone please help...

i installed wamp server 2.2 32bit version...
everything went fine but when i right click on the icon in the taskbar tray it didnot give any options of mysql,php etc., as it should have given in the dropdow menu ....
instead it gave the below listed options

About
refresh
help
language
exit


i want to know the problem with the installation...
how can i get the drop down list as it should have been??
or should i reinstall or should i install other version ..??

please do reply as fast as u can ...
thanks in advance.

Would you happen to have Skype installed too? When I installed wamp onto my Windows 7 Pro I ran into a similar problem. It seems that Skype and Wamp sahre the same ports and I needed to change the settings in Skype in order to allow both to run on Windows 7. I'll try to dig up the exact setting to change for you... ah! Here it is...


In skype if you click "tools " then "options" and connection down the left, untick the box "use port 80 and 443 as alternative incomming ports"

u can not use it coz it use 80 port in the machin by the way iis also use 80 port in the windows 7 that is why xamp and wamp not work in the windows 7 sometime ,
e so u have to change the iis port in windows 7

How to do this?
#1. In Start menu Search option, type: IIS and click Internet Information Services Manager or simply do a run command: inetmgr .
#2. Under Connections, You’ll see your PC name click on it to expand the list. Now you can see “Sites” click on it to expand.
#3. Under Sites you can see Default Web Site, right click on it and Select EDIT BINDINGS.
#4. Edit HTTP binding port from 80 to 81.


#5. Open your browser and type: //localhost:81/yoursite. You should be able to access your local sites without any problems.




if not iis in search function

#1. In Start menu Search option, type: turn windows features on or off
#2 and tik the internet information services and ok

now wamp will work properly
