Installation on WinXP



Greetings!

I'm trying to install Maxima on my Windows XP machine at home.  I 
downloaded and installed the 5.9.2 and have since downloaded Clisp and 
extracted it.  But things aren't marrying-up properly.  Maxima is not 
starting when I open up the program.  I'm either missing a dependency, too 
ignorant to attempt implementing maxima on my own, or both.

Any simple installation help out there?  From what I'm reading on this 
list, this project is mostly by folks a lot more savvy than I am, and who 
leave things unsaid that the likes of this writer need to see in triplicate.

I used macsyma years ago on a SUN 3/60 machine, and I'm excited to hear 
about an open-source CAS, but I may not have the requisite background to 
implement it myself.

I've looked for all kinds of "installation for dummies" documentation and 
have failed to find the needed detail.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve
