First, I must say that I'm totally beginner. I installed Wamp server 2 verison (I have XP) but the icon is orange. I have found somewhere that problem is probably in Apache because something using port 80 (probably my skype). Does anyone know how to change that?

After closing the Command Prompt, go to the same path and click on Start/Resume Service. The WAMP server icon should turn to green right away. In case you can have all these but still, the icon is displaying orange color, you need to click on Restart Service button.
And the icon does not turn green. This issue indicated that your apache has not started, this is normally because something else is using port 80. This will load a command window and tell you what is using port 80.
Wamp server uses default port 80. So it may raise a port conflict with other software that is already installed and using the same port. You can check which software is using port 80, through Apache>Service>Test Port 80. If you find some other software is using port 80, just uninstall that software.

Apex is spot on, I don't know how many times I forget about Skype/WAMP conflicting. As an addition to Apex's answer you can also tell Skype not to use port 80 by going to:
Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Connection
and untick "Use port 80 and 443 as alternative for incoming connections"
