XP Pro comes with IIS available, but it doesn't come loaded with PHP, MySQL and phpMyAdmin. If you haven't already done so then you need to install those elements individually.

 

Best advice is to forget about IIS (a real nuisance if you are a beginner) and download and install an all-in-one Apache package like XAMPP instead (http://www.apachefriends.org/en).

Make sure that IIS is not active when you run the XAMPP install. It shouldn't be this hard, it's normally just a 1-click install and it does it all for you. There must be something else going on with your computer setup.

Seems like a lot of work to me, i really advise you run this on Linux/Apache so much better.

Look for a hidden file called Hosts, because it may well have reserved Port 80 for the use of IIS. In which case you'd need to change XAMPP to use Port 8080.
