This is OT for the list, except that the A, M and P of [w.l]amp are familiar to many linux users. Davin, are you sure all the services are running? Mine never seem to start by themselves on my windows box at work (I am running mediawiki as an experimental knowledge base for the office). windows has a netstat commandline program, see if the services are running, apache on 80 and mysql on 3306.
