Hi Reggie,
I would:
1. Disable any and all XAMPP services.
2. Install WAMP following all the recommended practices.
3. Configure each WAMP component (I would use the XAMPP settings only as a reference, that is, I would not copy & paste them). Take care to select the correct PHP/MySQL templates to create the final setting files; for example, if it is a production site, use the php.ini-production template file.
4. Test.
