Does Maxima work on Windows??



Hi,

This is my first post to the forum and it's prompted by my having a problem
getting Maxima to work on WindowsXP SP3. I get the 'not connected to Maxima'
message. I followed the installation instructions to the letter so I'm
puzzled!! I've googled the problem and there doesn't seem to be any clearcut
solution to this problem (tho I may have missed it).

I have previous experience with Maxima on a linux machine (Ubuntu 10.04) and
had no problems there at all.

Any help would be most welcome
