Have you configured your hosts file so that "www.localhost.com" points to your local machine? Otherwise, you're going to the real localhost.com out on the Internet.

Thanks Greg / Avi. I altered the hosts file and saved it successfully. It certainly is acknowledging "www.localhost.com" on my local machine now, the localhost/_admin page loads up immediately. But still no success on login with root/root. I double checked my main.inc reads: define('SQ_CONF_SYSTEM_ROOT_URLS', 'www.localhost.com');
[quote]Yay…it works. What a task it’s been to get to this stage. Very relieved. Thanks for your help.

Yes, indeed. Remember that Matrix is not really designed to work on Windows XP. It is far simpler to install on Linux, Solaris or MacOS X.
