what o you mean by nothing happens?

Do you get an error like:
1 - "404 - page not found"
2 - you just get an empty page
3 - you get the firefox/iexplorer page that website was not found?

Hi designeru,

Sorry I forgot to enter that information What I did was first just copy the upload folder to htdocs, but when I typed in http://localhost I just get the main Xampp for windows screen. So I created a folder in the htdocs folder called vbullet and put the upload folder in there and when I type in http://localhost/vbullet I get the following message:

Object no found!
The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

Hi WEBDosser,

I did as you recommended, upto the part where copy the contents of the upload folder into the www folder in the wamp folder. The problem is that there ia alread an index.php file in the www folder belonging to wamp and there is also an index folder belonging to the upload folder, do I overwrite this file ?.

Its perfectly safe to overwrite, that index.php might be just an intro page of WAMP.
