Hello Doug,

I suggest to download the Typo3Winstaller http://typo3winstaller.sourceforge.net/ and try Typo3 on 
your machine first, so you gain some success.

Later try to find a provider who offers you PHP5.

You only have to comment out "error_reporting (E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);" for running T3 on your providers 
server.

I don't know why T3 did not recognize your file ENABLE_INSTALL_TOOL. Please make sure, that it realy 
has no suffix. And that you put it in the folder typo3conf on the remote server. Files have to be 
644 and folders have to be 755, but I think that is standard after you uploaded T3 to your server.

Keep on going, Typo3 is lot of fun (and hard work)
