I was using wamp server for a long,but suddenly today it stopped working.

When i start wamp the icon doesnt turn to green it stays with orange.

I dont have skype and i have disabled IIS from windows features.but still it doesnt work.

i checked apache error log it shows the following:

This may sound silly, but check your Windows PATH setting for odd characters.

This has been caused in the past by a corruption of the PATH.
