Look up installing IIS ON A vista machine... It would be the least taxing for a machine of that age.
Basically, once you have IIS installed, you would create a folder inside the c:\inetpub\www\ folder call it "web"... Save all your files in that folder...
Then you can test by ope ing your browser and entering http://localhost/web/

There's no way that's a Vista laptop, unless the OS was upgraded...and with those specs, it would probably run Vista horribly. If it's running anything, it's probably running either XP, 2000, or Millennium (in that order).
With that said, WZ is right...your best bet is to install IIS. If you have the original O/S CD, you can add it in as a Windows feature and install it and the SMTP server (you probably won't need the rest, but for most things you'll need these two). If not, depending on your OS it may be downloadable.If I've helped you out in any way, please pay it forward. My wife and I are walking for Autism Speaks. Please donate, and thanks.

Yeah I was thinking along the lines of ME with a free upgrade to vista ... The last year they pushed ME down everyone's throats ( literally ), they were giving away upgrade vouchers ... The hardware was speced to just barely handle it... But it do run ( about as good as it could ), but most started dying in vista SP1. Hardware couldn't handle the SP demands.
