Check the WIKI on this site. There's tons of stuff about configuring windows, MAME, and various front ends you might want to use.

And welcome!

Do a search on shelling windows.

I've got it working on windows 7, but the process on xp will be different.

If the computer can run vista, use win 7 instead.

You can also paddle the joy right then left to get through these screens as well.  If you're using older releases of MAME you can disable the screens entirely but not so much with the newer versions unless you put in a batch file to run the okay command on game start-up but that is a relative pain in the ass. 

Check out this thread as it is very helpful for setup of MAME and a good frontend, MALA.

that helped but like a said im a noob so im not really sure what to do after that so i found an easier solution and installed hyperspin which includes mame and all the other consoles it seems to be much faster and get better results with it u guys think its beter than mame32 it self or maximus?
