When new users register accounts, they don't get an email. What do I need to do to fix this? <-- I did a search and this guy and other have the same problem as me... yet there are no responses...
Im running wordpress on windows xp, apache 2.0.. do i need to install a mail server or something aswell or is it something i need to edit in the wordpress files...
any help would be greatly appreciated

Me too, I have exactly the same problem! First I thought iy may be because of I changed the template of wp-register.php. So I tried it again by the default template. But it didn't work.
Is there anyone who has a solution?

I'm having the same problem also, all other e-mails send just fine, password resets and all the administrative alerts come in just fine. I thought it might have been junk mail filter blocking the messages but it's not, I received messages for password resets to Hotmail, Gmail, and Yahoo.
Any ideas what it might be? Thanks for all the help!

This problem is caused by SAFE_MODE turned on on your server. In SAFE_MODE funcion 'mail()' can have only 4 arguments and in functions.php there is this function called with 5 args.
All you have to do to fix this problem is to edit ./wp-includes/functions.php and change the line #1604 from
return @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, $more);
to
return @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
