Hi Rick http://127.0.0.1/ default IP address for windows 7/8 when you are enable the IIS at time only It is working. Or If you installed XAMPP with PHPmysql(phpmyadmin ) at time also working http://127.0.0.1/ Enable the IIS please checkout below link http://www.iis.net/learn/install/installing-iis-7/installing-iis-on-windows-vista-and-windows-7

Thanks for the reply however that's not the answer. any Ip addressed typed into a browser doesnt require the http:// prefix the browser will automagically add that.

There is no issue with Windows 7 or 8. The issue seems to be different. Try to browse with adding http:// prefix.
