Installation Question

Please be gentle to a newbie!
I've just installed this fantastic forum onto a test server (Apache, mySQL 5, php) running on my windows XP.
when i run the installation i get through everything and when i get to step 4, when i click on the 'go..' it goes straight to a directory index.
My question (at last..i hear some cry) is, should this happen, (on the installation tutorial it should load straight onto the 'create a new dicussion') or have i done something incorrect?
Every tab works except the 'Discussion' tab..
Thanks and sorry if this is a really simple Q, pointers will help.

If so, the problem is that index.php isn't the default page for that folder, for some reason.
Go to about line 324, where it says something like:
DirectoryIndex index.php index.php3 index.html index.htm index.html.var
Make sure index.php is in there, probably in the front.
