   Well I just Downloaded the "WordPress" Files

   Then they told me to open Wp-Config and save it again to desktop or something

   and when i did it told me to go to this link I think to how to install it

   and when i clicked it it showed "Firefox can't find the file at /C:/Users/Myusername/AppData/Local/Temp/Temp1_wordpress-2.8.6.zip/wordpress/wp-admin/upgrade.php."

   this what it says in the help page "Installation: Famous 5-minute install

   1. Unzip the package in an empty directory.
   2. Open up wp-config-sample.php with a text editor like WordPad or similar and fill in your database connection details.
   3. Save the file as wp-config.php
   4. Upload everything.
   5. Open /wp-admin/install.php in your browser. This should setup the tables needed for your blog. If there is an error, double check your wp-config.php file, and try again. If it fails again, please go to the support forums with as much data as you can gather.
   6. Note the password given to you.
   7. The install script should then send you to the login page. Sign in with the username admin and the password generated during the installation. You can then click on 'Profile' to change the password.
   "

   and I do NOT have FTP or anything

   Tikihall,

   I think you are confused between the free wordpress.com and self-hosted blogs using wordpress software.

   Your blog is on wordpress.com and none of the instructions including downloading and install apply to you. Read the difference here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

   You have a free blog here; no need of any FTP access or 5-minute install. Please read all the support documentation for help.

   @vikas
   titkihall's username is linked to a wordpress.COM blog. If you click "member" under his/her name you will find that this is a long standing confusion that we volunteers have attempted to address more than once.
