Download and install an all-in-one package called XAMPP - contains PHP, MySQL, PHP My Admin etc. Easy to install.

 

Once you've done that go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin and set up a blank database - just look for 'Create Database, enter a name, and click 'Go'. All done.

 

Next, download a zipped copy of osCommerce MS2.2. from www.oscommerce.com, unzip it, take just the 'catalog' folder and drop it into your htdocs or web pages folder in XAMPP.

 

Then go to http://localhost/catalog/install and begin the install procedure for osCommerce. You'll need ther server name which will be 'localhost' your database user name (which you just set up) and your database password (ditto), adn the name of the database you just created.

When the install is completed you need to delete the 'install' folder, and because XAMPP uses php5 you need to make on eminor change in osCommerce. Go to admin/includes/classes/upload.php and on line 31, where it says $this change it to //$this.

 

Before you start, go to the Knowledge Base and read up on the installation procedure - it'll save a lot of questions later!
