cakephp on XAMPP for windows

Greetings Everyone,
Just installed XAMPP 1.8.1 for Windows which I plan to use to test a
cakephp web-app. The basic install worked fine, but once I copied all
the cake files to htdocs, I started getting errors I don't
understand. Even with debug set to 0, I get this message:

Strict Standards: Redefining already defined constructor for class
Object in C:\xampp\htdocs\cake\libs\object.php on line 54

Strict Standards: Non-static method Configure::getInstance() should
not be called statically in C:\xampp\htdocs\cake\bootstrap.php on line
38

Under this, my layout background eventually loads but the server can't
find the content files. With debug set to 2, I get a much longer list
of Strict Standards errors.

Does anybody understand these errors. It my understanding that I
shouldn't alter files in the cake folder, so I'm assuming the problem
must lie elsewhere in my setup and not in the files mentioned by the
errors.

Thanks for your help!
