 * Never mind! Of course I finally figured it out by looking at the wp-config file
   and saw that I had left some cheatsheet garbage in there after editing it! Needed
   to be cleaned out along with some extra empty space and now WP starts fine.
 * I followed the instructions at: [http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/xampp/](http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/xampp/)
   to install WordPress on my local computer and get the below errors.
 * Can anyone tell me the cause or my mistake?
 * Thanks!
