installing CFmx7 on xp home

Question

Greetings, 
 I recently have purchased a new laptop, and have installed
DW8. I am wanting to get CFmx7 up and running but can't seem to get
it to work in a development environment. The computer is brand new
VAIO, with the latest XP home edition.

I have installed CFmx7, and choose "built in web server",
along with choosing an admin and RDS login password. But in
dreamweaver, none of the CF functions are working, and I get the
message "coldfusion may not be running", etc. I've checked
"Administrative Services" and CF services are running correctly.
IIS is available and installed.

I've had CFmx7 running on my previous computer, and remember
having this same problem in the beginning. But, don't remember how
it was solved....

Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong. I've installed and
uninstalled both CF and DW four times each.

thanks,

This problem was solved by going into the CFmx7 web serverconfiguration tool and clicking on Add.... and then configuring forIIS, with all the default settings.Stephen

what happens if you go to :http://localhost:8500/CFIDE/administratorCF and Dreamweaver are to separate products obviously so Iwould not worry about DW yet, just get CF working and then tinkerwith DW.-wEStSiDe
