 * When I am to the step in the install where I open the install.php file in my 
   browser, I cannot get it to open, set up my tables, and give me my password.
 * I click to open the file, it comes up with a open or save windows warning. If
   i hit open, it does nothing. just closes.
 * Now I am installing at the moment to learn the software, so me posting my config
   file is no problem to me. The readme says that if it doesnt work it may be a 
   part of the config file…. does anything look wrong in mine? I am setting it up
   on my local machine set as a webserver.

 * that all looks fine (providing you didn’t use any illegal characters in auth 
   keys)
 * usually the action you describe means PHP isn’t enabled on the server.
