Well, that means you have to turn on the ExecCGI option. I haven't used Apache on Windows, but I imagine you should be able to find something vaguely like:
<Location c:/program files/apache group/apache/htdocs/> Options +ExecCGI </Location> You have to add or modify it to put in Options +ExecCGI -- and maybe it will be Directory instead of Location.

I am running Windows ME (basically 98), and apache.
