As is perfectly obvious, I'm a complete newbie who wanted to install xampp so that I could build and view php sites on my computer before transferring them to the server. Of course, the installation went just fine, but I start xampp and, as many people are noticing, I click on (english) on the splash page with the logo, and it ...never... ...loads. I tried changing my connection to a proxy, didn't work. I then went back to a normal connection and turned off the dinky winXP firewall. Didn't help. I don't know what to do!! I've tried using SWAMP too; I couldn't get php files to open with it either and uninstalled it. I was just hoping I could get xampp working. Can you help?
Thanks for your time.
