I had installed WAMP server on my C: drive and had several databases created in the embedded mysql instance of it. Later I installed another WAMP server instance on my D: drive. Now I can run the wamp server instance in my D: drive and I can run the other WAMP server instance on my C: drive also (1 instance at a time) but the problem is even though I run the WAMP instance in my C: drive it dosen't show my old Databases and old Aliases dosen't work!

Now I want to switch back to my old WAMP server instance in C: drive. How could I fix it?

Although I have not tested it but you need to change ports of apache and mysql server.

Check out http://www.websysdynamics.com/Web-Tech-Blog/how-to-run-xampp-and-wamp-on-same-machine-in-windows-environment.html

It might be helpful.

Same for me. I succesfully installed a new version and moved over some sites, only to discover later the old version doesn't work properly anymore. I think some global path variables may be overwritten or something. The old wamp now makes localhost point to the new wamp's www folder and indeed localhost/phpmyadmin only shows the new wamps databases. So future readers be warned!

You would try to update the configuration located at wampmanager.conf for different versions of WAMP. There you can set the MySQL version,, application etc.

The post Install both 32 bit and 64 bit WAMP server would give your some hints.
