Admin Control

[Broads]

Help...

I'm affraid I am stuck at the 1st hurdle...
Well maybe 2nd or 3rd.

I have a clean install of php v5. running on IIS5 with mySQL, latest one.. I am running on XP.

I have also just downloaded the latest release of zencart.

Currently I have installed the store and have added a username and password, but when I goto /admin and enter my password the form resets and asks me to enter the username and password. I believe I am entering the password correctly because when I enter something incorrectly it says I have either entered the password or username incorrectly. I have installed twice now with the same problem?

Any ideas? I presume the store should once logged in forward me to a set of admin controls?

Also regardless of the permissions I set on the config files, they are detected as write accessible..

Further to this , I have added a user to the site, and I can add and ammend the details entered, however if I log off, and then login again, I can not.. and the cart goes back to the home page. with the login in link at the top.

Guessing it has something to do with caching? maybe? anyone?? please I am desperate to get this running...

thanks..
