Hey, I'm new to using wordpress and this is a project that needs to be finished by tomorrow.

When I run admin.php to log in the Wordpress control panel I get bombarded with all this text and random login bars all over the place, up the top it says PHP isn't running and needs to be installed. I had it working a week ago and can't remember how I did so.

I've tried opening it in IE but it just makes me redownload it?

This is being done on XP SP3.

Mowes Portable 2 is running Apache and MySQL.

EDIT: I also have Abyss webserver installed. I'm confused to which one's I run.

Are you accessing it from 'http://localhost/', or whatever your domain (if applicable) is? If not it will not pass your Web Server software, which is required to turn PHP into a page that a browser can actually display. Browsers don't interpret PHP client-side, it is assembled into an HTML file by the server before sending it to the browser. PHP files can not be opened directly in a browser.

If that's not the problem, then it would be useful to see your configuration file. It would help to know which server is running. Have you changed your configuration files at all recently? Was Abyss installed back when this was working? Is this the same installation of all web server & php software as that which worked?
