Help Needed on an old Joomla site

[dvharrison]

Hi

I am in the process of upgrading a website that originated from 1.0 and has in the past been upgraded to 1.5.

Luckily for me I'm installing this on my XAMPP localhost as it is in one heck of a state! However, I am getting the following Error:

Fatal error: Cannot re-assign auto-global variable _FILES in C:\xampp\xxxxx\xxxxxxx\components\com_fpss\fpss.class.php on line 345

I am aware that this particular message is from the Front Page slideshow component.  The site itself was originally 1.0, but has been upgraded to 1.5.  I will upgrade once I can get the site working on my xampp.

Please could you advise me into whats going wrong? I can provide more info if needed.

I have a feeling this is going to be one of many problems with this site. 

Thanks in advance.
