    and my icons on the dashboard i.e. apperance, plugins etc disappear when ever my mouse pointer hovers over it. i also noticed that when i connect my moderm to my laptop and connect to the internet everything corrects itself

    and also my profile image is supposed to display a default image but it displays a broken image instead.

    I think it’s a problem with the Apache configuration. You’ll need to check the error log file(s) to get more specific information.

    Local installs frequently have problems with communicating with www.ads-software.com (i.e. for automatic updates) because of the many security issues involved with having a local Apache installation.

    You might want to consider using XAMPP instead of WAMP. I’ve used XAMPP many times without problems:

    ohk so the latest builds for xampp for windows are all 32bit so i tried bitnami instead, which is almost similar and i seem to have the same problem only that i dont get the mwarning message anymore and the icons on my dashboard sometimes behave the same way.
