What version of PHP?

PHP under Windows often has trouble with the default setting of
session_save_path, and thus PHP is unable to save sessions.

You might try setting an explicit temporary directory for session_save_path
in the php.ini file, or you can do it in PmWiki's local/config.php
file by using:

    session_save_path('C:\\temp');

Let me know if this helps.
