If you getting following error
Could not execute menu item (internal error) [Exception] Could not perform service action: The service has not been started
Solution 1:
please make sure none of following services is running on your system.
IIS, Skype, Zone Alarm, NOD32, Eset, Internet Optimizer, Google Accelerator, any other database server, any other webserver?
If you using any of the above application close it and select “restart all services” from WAMP menu.
Solution 2:
under Apache open the httpd.conf and change the lines
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80
to
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 8080
Save the file and select “restart all services”, it is done
Thats all .. Cheers

8080 worked grate
Just remove skype..after reinstall wamp. its is working fine for me
I had a seemingly peculiar situation. In my case, the absence of the www folder in the wamp installation folder was the problem. I renamed the www folder for a reason and forgot to put it back to its original name.

Please post here the list of services you are running in task manager. May be then i can figure out the problem, i think some services on windows are causing the problem.
