Read this, I got it from Microsoft's website:
INFO: Personal Web Server Is Not Included with Windows XP Home Edition
Applies To
This article was previously published under Q304197
SUMMARY
Windows XP Home Edition does not include or support any versions (1.0, 2.0, 4.0)
of Microsoft Personal Web Server (PWS). Users that need Web server functionality
in a desktop operating system should use Windows XP Professional.
MORE INFORMATION
Windows XP Professional is designed for business users and contains Internet Information
Services (IIS) version 5.1. IIS 5.1 includes Web and FTP server support, as well
as support for Microsoft FrontPage transactions, Active Server Pages, and database
connections. Available as an optional component, IIS 5.1 is installed automatically
if you upgrade from versions of Windows with PWS installed.
PWS 4.0 is included with the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack and was designed
for Microsoft Windows 95 and Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0 with Microsoft
Internet Explorer 4.01 or later. PWS is not supported and cannot be installed on
any version of Windows XP.
NOTE: Microsoft FrontPage 2002 can use disk-based Web pages in Windows XP Home Edition
as an alternative.
The information in this article applies to:

I THINK THIS IS TERRIBLE, I AM NOW DOWNGRADING TO WINDOWS 98 JUST TO SUPPORT PWS!!!
