Odd text all over install.php

A little background:
I am trying to run this on my home computer as my current host doesn’t allow MySQL use. I just wanted to play around with it for a while.
I have Windows ME, I installed and have running Apache 1.31.31 for Windows, and PHP 4.3.8 is running according to the Apachie console window. I have MySQL (newest 4.something for Windows from the MySQL site) installed. I run the MySQLAdmin program and then login and have the MySQL console window running as well. I had created a database called wordpress and granted all access to it.
I configured the wp_config.php file to the correct settings. Yet I get the following above the WordPess logo:
wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started. Need more help? We got it. You can create a wp-config.php file through a web interface, but this doesn’t work for all server setups. The safest way is to manually create the file.”);
require_once(‘../wp-config.php’); require(‘upgrade-functions.php’); if (isset($_GET[‘step’])) $step = $_GET[‘step’]; else $step = 0; ?>
Right below the WordPress logo:
hide_errors(); $installed = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT * FROM $tableusers”); if ($installed) die(__(‘
You appear to already have WordPress installed. If you would like to reinstall please clear your old database files first.
‘)); $wpdb->show_errors(); switch($step) { case 0: ?>
Welcome to WordPress. We’re now going to go through a few steps to get you up and running with the latest in personal publishing platforms. Before we get started, remember that we require a PHP version of at least 4.1.0, you have . Look good? You also need to set up the database connection information in wp-config.php. Have you looked at the readme? If you’re all ready, let’s go!
It says I already have it installed, but this is the first time running the program.
Any ideas on how to get this page to load properly so I can check it out?
