The install went alright, but after posting a sample question, I get nothing but a blank page when I click on it.
When I view the source of the blank page, the output is:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<STYLE type="text/css">
body,input {font-size:16px; font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;}
body {text-align:center; width:640px; margin:64px auto;}
table {margin: 16px auto;}
</STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
This repeats about 10 times.
There are errors in my apache log as well:

(The query keeps going but it is too long to post).
I tried increasing the max_allowed_packet in my.ini to large numbers and the error keeps happening (the apache log showed that error). Any idea what is going on?
Furthermore, in the admin panel, everytime I refresh the page I get different URL options with the OK label next to them. This is on a development server and I have rewrite turned on. I've tried every one of the rewrite options.
