I just installed WAMP 2.2 on Win 7, explorer 8, and haven't had any trouble so far. Today I decided since I've had nothing but trouble with Joomla 2.5 (keep getting locked out after working on Global Config, and end up re-installing) I would install it locally on WAMP to see if I could figure out what was going wrong. I followed directions exactly, got to the first page, language, and no farther. Clicking on the little yellow exclamation point in the bottom left of my browser brings up the following error messages. I've tried a clean install, shutting down WAMP and restarting it, changing languages, all to no avail. Any ideas? Is Joomla 2.5 perhaps not compatible with the newest WAMP package? I purposely downloaded the 32 bit package since 32-bit seems more compatible with half the stuff I run. (My old computer eyes cannot read the security check! I am going to try the 3rd time now...)
