Windows XAMPP install issue

I am trying to install xataface in XAMMP on a XP os box.

info page gives me this
F:\PortableApps\xampp\htdocs\xataface/Dataface/templates
Iam using xataface-1.2.3b2 xataface release

and I am getting this output on my page:
display(); ?>

That's it ... I can use the wrong password for the database or other changes and never get a different message. I am missing something here but have just failed to see what it is.
---------------------------

INDEX.PHP
<?
require_once "\xataface\dataface-public-api.php";
df_init(__FILE__, "http://localhost/xataface");
$app =& Dataface_Application::getInstance();
$app->display();
?>

---------------------------

CONF.INI
[_database]
host = "localhost"
user = "root"
password = "et"
name = "test"

[_tables]
id = "id"
inst = "inst"

some direction on this would be really appreciated. I have tried numerous variations with no luck...

Thanks
Butch

You have short_open_tags turned off. You need to use <?php for your open tag instead of just <?
