Hi Deb,

The readme file is rather dodgy, it took me some time to fumble around, but eventually got it working fine.

If you look inside the main folder, you'll see a xampp_control.exe file.
Double click to open this and the resulting Xampp Control Panel will tell you if mysql and apache are up and running. 
If they are not running and clicking the START button doesn't seem to start them, then you need to install both Apache and MySQL services, like so:

Open apache folder and run the apache_installservice.bat file.
Open mysql folder and run the mysql_installservice.bat file

Reboot your computer and open the xampp control panel again. Both services should now be running.  Go to the browser and type http://127.0.0.1/ and you should be presented with the "Install Moodle" page and away you go.

Hope that helps out.

Cheers
Brett
