Apache on WAMP (Windows 7 Pro) won't start

I have WampServer 2.0c installed on Windows 7 Pro. Apache has worked for a few months, and today decided that it didn't want to work anymore. :)

There is nothing in the error log for Apache (at least not for this issue -- there are some old errors, but those have been resolved). When I run WampServer, it starts (i.e., goes into my system tray), but Apache isn't running. I click on "Start/Resume Service" for Apache and literally nothing happens (other than the dialog going away) -- that is, it doesn't start, and it doesn't write any error to the log.

IIS is stopped.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

By the way, I've searched on here to no avail for the solution to my particular problem. Other similar issues are not quite the same.

have you tried removing it and reinstall it

Yes, I just removed it and reinstalled version 2.0h (also tried 2.0c as well, to no avail). It still will not run Apache. It says that that MySQL is running fine, but Apache won't run. Obviously I can't get to MySQL since I can't get into phpMyAdmin...but it says the service is running.

...and still nothing at all in the error log.

Oh, and I can't use 2.0i because there is apparently a conflict between PHP 5.3 (in 2.0i) and Zend Optimizer, which I need.

try it in xp mode to see its a windows 7 problem if it is I would use vmware workstation and install a ubuntu server with lamp (linux wamp) and use that for testing instead
