Owing to work requirements, I have to use the Internet Phone and Chat software called Skype. However, it has a niggling side effect: Skype somehow uses Port 80 which WampServer also needs.

Thus, the symptom you will see is that when you are logged in to Skype, and try to "Start All Services" on Wampserver, one of the services will never start, it will get 'stuck'.

The solution to this is to only log in to Skype after you have "Started All Services". WampServer functions seem to work alright in this manner. Also, just to note, when the Skype program is open but not logged in, you can still start all WampServer functions.
