So I have another idea from searching google which suggests that WAMP has not been completely uninstalled when I did the first uninstall, and the solution is to go to regedit after uninstall, do a search for "wamp" then delete all records related to wampserver. I'd done this but I'm getting 216-records and only three of them has a mention of "wamp" on the record names. I feel it can't be right to delete all 216-records and i'm scared because these records point to other programs and systems in windows. But this blog seems to suggest that I delete them all as below:
I have deleted the 3-records I found with mentions of "wampserver", but yet no solution to my problem. So my question is: Could the instruction possibly be to delete the entire 216-records in order to completely clear my system of all traces of the old WAMP installation?
Now, if you've done the above and have problems still, it'll likely there are other problems. Such things as different httpd configs, .htaccess files, different versions of wampserver and components like PHP and it's modules, databases and their security credentials, etc.
Thanks guys for your time. I think my actions as in the OP were successful in completely uninstalling wampserver. Just that my fresh instal of WAMP was mis-behaving and not finding pages beyond the home page. It's been sorted by enabling mod_rewrite. Though I'm not quite sure what went wrong as I'd applied the same mod_rewrite severally without a resolution.
I've read some questions before this and no answer exactly what this happenned.I'm using wampserver 2.5 x64. I have many databases in localhost. After reinstalled wampserver (exactly the same install file of wampserver), some databases are OK but someones are no table inside. Ex: I got DB A, B, C, D. I uninstalled and reinstalled wampserver. DB A is OK, B or C no table, D is OK.I think you guys got the same problems to me but I found no answer. Is there anybody get this problem and solution to solve?
Finally, I found the problem by myself was that all lost tables were InnoDB Engine. Next time, I just create tables using MyISAM Engine. You can uninstall and reinstall wampserver as many time as you wish. It's easy for localhost but not to find a hosting service with MyISAM database as I know.
I'm new to wampserver. Their latest version has the latest php 5.2.6, apache, and mysql. Has anyone using this version yet and experienced any issues with it and installing latest version of Drupal 6.x? First install wampserver, then Drupal, correct? Also, I'm installing it on windows 2003..any issues with that platform?
I finally uninstalled wamp5 and tried the installing the latest drupal 6.16 with wampserver 2.0i using the solution mentioned at This time, the ereg() function error didnt occur, but there were problems on the database configuration page and later problems with clean url, which I resolved using suggestions from the following posts:

Upon visiting , you should see the index page of wampserver. Under the 'Your Projects' title, you should see the folders which exist in the www directory (c:\wamp\www\ by default). This is the folder where you must uncompress the Drupal installation file - drupal-6.16.tar.gz at the time of writing this. You will be left with a 'drupal-6.16' folder. Feel free to rename it, but *before* proceeding with the installation.
