You'll need to provide more information than that if you expect anyone to help you!

Get XAMPP from here:
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

Read Documentation about it here:
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/faq-xampp.html

If you are having problems with that, try:
http://www.wampserver.com/en/

Also, you don't have to do your development on a local server. If you are having trouble setting it up, buy a hosting account and do your development over the web.

seriously-- you've got to be kidding. When you take your car in for service do you say to the mechanic "my car isn't working" and walk away?

I've compiled a tutorial on how to install WAMP and Drupal in a windows operating system.

This was an excellent tutorial, but I think the person has deleted the page.

You can either double-click the "xampp_start.exe" file in the xampp folder which loads apache and mysql, then double-click "xampp_stop.exe" when you're done. This is my preferred method - I've got desktop/Quick Launch shortcuts.

You could also use the "xampp_control.exe" (double-click) to bring up a background-running tray icon that lets you start and stop each xampp item.

You can also install them as a service, but I don't like to do that since I run it from a USB stick sometimes on different machines and it gets in the way a little (for me) to have it anyway but local to the drive/folder that it's on.

Hope this helps,
