[Xitami] Problems starting Xitami

[M. Jason Smiley]

yes - i think she originally mentioned she was running xp or w2k.... iis or
the personal web server is usually turned on by defualt.

the easiest way to turn it off is to open the computer management mmc
(start - programs - admin tools - computer management). go to SERVICES and
turn off anything related to iis or personal webserver (they are probably
set to automatic right now, change it to disabled).
