Hello Murphy, There are several causes which can cause this behavior. I have listed them below:

Unlock when you right click on it and go to Properties) * you might need to lower you UAC from Windows Settings (User Account Control) * try starting the XWiki instance directly from where you installed it (don't use shortcut). You should run start_xwiki.bat * if none of the above work, open a command window (cmd) and go to the instalation directory and start XWiki from the cmd (you have to execute start_xwiki.bat). This will show you the exact error, without making the window disappear. Firefox and Chrome both report that they cannot connect to localhost:8080 > Is there something fundamental that I have missed?

You can't access the wiki because it is not actually started. PS: XWiki recommends the use of Java 6. Even if Java 7 might work, you could encounter issues when running XWiki on Java 7.
