I downloaded WAMP- the it appears on my desktop with a firewall icon on top of it- doesn't open when clicked.

Downloaded XAAMP-it opens like this, maybe this one will work- but how do I use it to view the files of a Wordpress theme I coded from scratch?

Will thank

    Okay let me start off with saying hello.

    Secondly, what is your diagnosis so far? Is it a firewall block?

    By the way you're picture isn't loading.

    you need to start apache and mysql
    you need to have your files inside folder called htdocs
    i've my xampp installed in c: so my wordpress themes are in c:/xampp/htdocs/wordpress/
    and i can see the wordpress site in my browser by typing http://127.0.0.1/wordpress or http://localhost/wordpress

    I use wampserver. A couple of things:

    You will have to make a firewall exception for it. The install process should have asked you to do this. If you're not sure, do a YouTube search for some quick videos to help.

    wamp does not work with Skype as installed. Again, a quick YouTube video search will show you how to fix the problem. You will be able to use Skype and wamp together.

    Let us know how you're progressing.
