You will need to configure Windows to display known file types, at the moment this is not selected.

Your Webserver is waiting for requests to process and sending back.
Your error.log logs misleading requests he gets and other errors.

[Sat Oct 01 14:32:46 2011] [error] [client ::1] script 'C:/xampp/htdocs/signup.php' not found or unable to stat

This is one of that misleading request attempts. You can see the time the request arrived, the status, the requesting IP (in your case ::1 which is your own pc) and the error, in that case, that the file C:/xampp/htdocs/signup.php can't be found.

But someone (you) have typed in that request in the browser. Someone typed in http://signup.php and apache searches that file in his folders.

ahh so what file is supposed to be located when i type in localhost/signup.php?

if thats your question I don't really know, if you want i can show you the youtube video im following...would that help?

Sorry this is such a pain doing this was kind of a shot in the dark for me but something i would like to finish

Is this a windows version of the game or a Linux version often the Linux versions do not have file name extensions and won't work in XAMPP for Windows.

Your Apache does have a base directory. By XAMPP default thats \xampp\htdocs\
So if you request http://localhost/signup.php it will search a signup.pgp file inside his base directory.
If you would request http://localhost/folder/signup.php it will search for signup.php in \xampp\htdocs\folder\

neither of these links work for me..they give me the same page with this error:
Object not found!

The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

Do you have any more files without extensions as this may take us back to the Windows known files issue.

@Altrea
That's as bad as trying to watch a youtube movie when dial-up is your only connection choice - no chance.
