Does this tuturial work with Windows ME? I tried to install everything and it didn't work. When I had to edit the file in c:/windows I think it is php.ini or something like that. I tried using wordpad and it wanted to save it as a text file so I tried notepad and it wouldn't let me type everything that needed typing because the document had so much text. I had someone do it for me. So I restarted that apache server and everything and it still doesn't work. I will try it again in the morning but does anyone know what if it actually works on Windows ME?

it can be done is winME but do yourself a big favour and either downgrade to win98 or upgrade to winXP. winME is the crappiest piece of software the MS ever made. it crashes simply by loading a driver, imagine running a server on it.

also use a decent text editor, not notepad etc.
i recommend www.textpad.com .

use a real text editor, such as EditPlus2 and UltraEdit8
there are also some very good Free text editors such as NoteTabLight
you can download all of those from www.download.com

I can't afford to downgrade or upgrade right now.
