Unable to move forward

I downloaded and opened Server Press then created a website name and had it saved to my documents. It then created the site and generated a link for me to click on and above the link it says "Configuration is complete. You can now finish your desktop WordPress set up. Please specify a title, username and password by visiting the home page in your web brower using the URL below:" In the video it goes right into that to choosing the language you want among other settings. I cannot get past this point. Every time I click on the link to choose my settings and get started the page is blank. It won't display anything. I've tried refreshing, restarting, going through a different browser and I am not sure where I went wrong. I feel like there might be something obvious I'm missing but I have no idea. Please help!

I am assuming you are setting up DesktopServer.

If you type 'localhost' in your browser, do you get the ServerPress.com interface built on XAMPP? If so you should be able to access your webpage or resume building your webpage.

If not try double-clicking your DesktopServer icon, then Restart Desktop Server with privileges, then Restart the web and database services, and that should get you into the localhost interface page.

Using this interface you should be able to create or delete your WordPress pages. I occasionally have to Restart Desktop Server because either the localhost or database are no longer working correctly and need to be resynced for me to use my WordPress.
