version

I downloaded wamp which works (green icon). However I need to test a site locally in Joomla 1.5 which caused errors when using php 5.3 I believe I need a PHP version lower then this i.e 5.2.x

To do this I have gone through PHP -> Version -> Get More..

and installed a older PHP version. However when I start this PHP version the icon stays on an orange colour and going in localhost doesn't work.

I haven't used wamp before so my knowledge of it is limited.

If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated,

Regards.
