*Are you using PHP4 or PHP5?
PHP5 has some problems, try using PHP4


*maybe the files are corrupted.

im using wamp5 server which has php version 5.2.5

wamp5 is the solution my friend.. Just install it. Unzip joomla into the webdirectory.

Start from scratch. Uninstall both xamp and wamp. Delete the directories.
Then install wmap5 from biginning.

I think you should try and redowload the joomla zip.
