Downloaded GS 3.1.2 for the first time to try it on a local host (Xampp)
For the first time opening a page for edit there is the editor, but when reload localhost/getsimple/admin then the editor is gone !
Going to the settings then the "Enable the HTML editor" is unmarked. Marked this option and also set the right Local Timezone.
But it seems that the settings are not saved because the editor is still gone.
Going back to the settings the "Enable the HTML editor" is unmarked !! and also the "Local Timezone" is gone/back to --none-- ??? What am I doing wrong ?

It's because of OS dependent paths/URIs.
Try GS directly on a linux based production webserwer, or use a true LAMP under a virtual machine.
Otherwise ... well, I can only wish you good luck with any php based webapp maintained locally on a windows machine.

Thanks for the quick replay !

The operating system is Windows XP and on the laptop Windows 7

I don't have Linux or LAMP an I am not familiar with that. So maybe I have to look for another CMS system?

I use GS with Xampp and windows without a problem.
DOn't be hasty and go just yet 8)
Do you have admin access on your windows machine.
What version of Windows are you using?

With good advise I keep trying !!
On my desktop is windows XP with servicepack 3 and the latest updates, no admin access.
On the laptop Windows 7 with the latest updates and no admin access
On both machines the same problem.
On what filename and path are the Settings saved ?

Settings are saved in the folder
/data/
of your GS install
You'll need to have read/write permission on that folder to be able to use GS properly.

I looked in the "C:\Xampp\htdocs\GetSimpel\DATA" map and there is one file ".htaccess", from date 27-06-2012; I opening this file with EditPad and the content is only "Deny from all"
When I go to the map "GetSimpel" and I go "properties" the read only is marked.
I tryed to unmarked this map but until now it won't work. I keep trying /searching.
There is also a ".htaccess" in the "C:\Xampp\htdocs\GetSimpel\" map, with the date 22-10-2012 and with more content in it.

It's always a matter of taste, but tbh. I lost too much time finding dependencies between different libs, OS specific settings etc. And when things turned out that under win OS some of php functions aren't prepared to work on windows, I had enough of fighting with everything else (especially changing code I already had), instead of just doing things in a simple way.
At the end everything would be moved to a linux based production server, so where was the sense anyway ?
And that's why I switched from WAMP to a LAMP stack.
I was thinking about preparing a small VM image with apache, php, and preinstalled GS long time ago, but it doesn't take much time to use one of already existing VM's:
http://bitnami.org/stack/lampstack
http://www.turnkeylinux.org/lampstack
There are more of such projects, so feel free to search for "lamp stack".

UNless you can make the directory c:\xampp\htdocs\getsimpel
read/write you wont be able to save any files.
Because of these restrictions you could uninstall xampp and reinstall into a folder that you have write access to (such as your home directory)

If you didn't want to deal with getting GetSimple to work locally on Windows you could just get a web hosting account for really cheap and use that, and it will work correctly.
Either way, try EasyPHP it works the best for local Windows machines.

I all figured it out, things are mostely more simple then we thinking.
- As starting up for the very first time GetSimple, the editor is working
- Leaving the program (logout) and start again login won't work (wrong password ?)
- Starting a new installed GetSimple, in the Settings set a password(twice) and save it and logout
- Now I can login with the right password and everything is working sofar !
note:
The username (if forgotten) have I found in:
C:\Xampp\htdocs\GetSimple\data\users\username.xml
Thanks all for helping sofar !
