WAMP and Skype Conflict

Recently I discover a conflict between Skype and WampServer that I thought I would Share.  Both of them  use port 80 which causes the conflict... :D . If you run Skype before running Wamp, then Apache will not run. If you go to a site on localhost or 127.0.0.1 , you will probably get a blank screen.
..What Happen..?
The solution is pretty simple. Just make sure you start all services on WAMP before you open Skype. If Skype is disconnected it will work fine. You can then connect Skype once Wamp is running....
--- Really too easy....

But..
A much better solution than starting WAMP before Skype is to follow the advice ---
So, Why not...?
In skype if you click "tools " then "options" and connection down the left, untick the box "use port 80 and 443 as alternative incoming ports"

That worked  nicely and haven't looked back  :)
