Hallo Christine
In that case, you are faced with two problems:
1. How to install Moodle 2.5 on your own machine (localhost)?
This is the original topic of this discussion. I understand that your top priority is to get it running on your Windows Vista. Curiously the helpers so far, including myself, are Linux people and could not give you specific advice. You need to decide to press on that path or to try another operating system. The discussion might look different then, see for example, "How to ensure I "own" everything -Ubuntu Moodle install"https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=246408.
2. How to host Moodle 2.5?
Your school runs 1.9, your hosted 2.5 goes out of action due to DDoS attacks. But this is a different question alltogether. The usual place is the "Hardware and Performance" forum: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=596.
