Hi
I hope you can bear with a noob for a while. I am a complete novice to programming. I am currently learning how to use Joomla to build myself a website. I have installed Xampp as my local host (running on my windows xp64 pc) I have installed joomla on top of that. When I come to install a template in joomla I am getting lots of error messages and I am not able to edit the template. The errors also appear on the front end of my site. Below are listed the errors I get when I try to open the template for editing.

This is not all of it, I have deleted some of the repeated entries and It goes on and on, but I will not paste them all. With so many errors I must have done something major wrong. I did try the same steps with an install on a free host trial of cloud access.net and I didn not get errors so I presume there is something wrong with my XAMPP configuration Can anyone help. Please be slow as I do not have any coding experience.
Many thanks to anyone who answers.
