Apache 2.* Wamp Stop Working on Orange Icon

On Windows 7, Wamp server  used to run smoothly with no problems and suddenly the server stop working, if the server is ok the tray icon will be in green color, that  is sign of healthy wamp server, but now  I get only at orange color tray icon.
As usual the first thing to do in thiss case is to check the logs file to see the error message that was saved there, but another shock was there is no error message in Apache log files.

The Problem was that ,Skype is conflicting Apache because Skype use port 80 as an alternative connection port, So when Skype is started before you start apache it will use the 80 port, but if Skype is started after then port 80 will be dominated by Apache on Wamp.

What to do :
In Skype from the Main menu choose Tools then Options then Advanced and uncheck the chckbox that is titled by  "use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections"

Happy Wamping.
