James, EasyPHP (www.easyphp.org) provides a package that configures Apache, PHP, Mysql in windows environment with only one setup. It also provides capabilities to easily mannage MySQL (Using its system-tray icon). However, if you're not using PHP with MySQL, it may cost you extra unwanted memory to be consumed for Apache and PHP. P.S. Jaws seems to be reading the webpage in French even if you've selected English from the combo box, to resolve this, just turn off the language detection option from the verbosity dialog.
