Hi,
I do not understand which parameter you are uncommenting.

When starting (or trying to start) the nagios daemon, it says in which file you'll find details about the error encountered, did you check it out?

heres the parameter #cfg_file=usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/windows.cfg
once i remove the comment symbol then i restart the nagios and my apache..

it gives me an error like this

Whoops!
Error: Could not read host and service status information!

I dont know the problem but I already installed on my machine the nsclient...

Please help me...

if i install all that the nagios get me an error
i cant browse nagios once i install that...

From what I can see you are missing the leading / in the path to your windows.cfg file.

Your entry shows:

cfg_file=usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/windows.cfg

When infact it should be:

cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/windows.cfg

Note the extra / before usr

This should solve your problem I hope.

Cheers

Is there actually a windows.cfg file in that directory?
