  • Because you have re-installed your OS ( Windows 8 ) the Apache(wampapache) and MySQL(wampmysql) services will no longer be registered as services, so look at this post to see what to do to re-register them. Its easily done from the wampmanager menu system. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19445238/wamp-server-not-working-on-8-1/19450946#19450946 – RiggsFolly Jan 23 '14 at 10:55

rather than trying to run old wamp, reinstall new one. just copy all the files from 

C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.12\data\

and 

C:\wamp\www

there and paste it somewhere before you perform reinstalling. and after you successfully install new copy of wamp, paste the file in same folders. maybe that will help you save the data.
