Well, being somewhat of a PHP novice and messin' with it on Win98 myself, I believe I understand the problem you're having there.

Right click on the folder that you have web sharing enabled on specifically the one you wish to run PHP scripts in. under properties > web settings you'll have your alias name in a list box. highlight it, click Edit properties, and under access there's a checkbox for Execute permission. Check it.
