    I have downloaded XAMMP & then I downloaded wordpress. When I came to the part where it tells me to, Open the file wp-config-sample.php. I did but it takes me to, Microsoft Digital Image Pro 9! Then the message appears saying, File
    C;\Users\User\Documents\wordpress-3.2.1\wordpress\wp-config-sample.php could not be opened.

    Can anyone help me please to correct this.
    Many thanks in advance.

    You need to open the file in a plain text editor such as Notepad.

    Thank you esmi. I have opened the file in Notepad. Do I have to put my password in where it says, root?
    Many thanks.

    The bits you have to amend are:

    // ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'database_name_here');

/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'username_here');

/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password_here');

/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
