that one looks like it would do the trick but are there any that do not require
mysql and php to run.. i dont know what rights im going to have on the server.

I have never ran a forum so im not sure what all it takes.

Most are based on PHP and MySQL. You might be able to find some that run on PERL and just use plain text files (or XML) but it would take some digging to get a really good one.

Mysql and PHP have windows binaries you can download and install from. The installers are pretty good for helping you get them installed properly for your system then you need to configure your websever to work with PHP.
