[TYPO3-windows] install typo on local server/ work offline?

[Els Coolen]

Dear all

I had previously installed typo 3.8 on my local PC's server and was able 
to work offline.
After a hardware crash, I installed both quickstart 3.8.1 for windows 
and dummy 3.8.1 for windows, but both versions do not work on my local 
server.

as the quickstart package includes apache and MySQL, I would assume it 
would work on my local server. I have followd all steps described in the 
installation guidelines, but I only get an empty page on Firefox when I 
hit localhost.

Could you please tell me how I can work offline with typo, since I want 
to develop an basic website offline before I pay for online server space.

thanks for any information!
