fail to configure my server for replication

[Ref]

Hi
I am new with Replication

I develop Now the Microsoft Server 2000 Replication

And I chose Snapshot type for replication

All I need to copy Part of db from Publisher via distributor to
Subscriber
I tried with Windows xp pro
with sql server
and I want to do puplisher and distributer at the same server

But the problem that I could net configure it due a lot of error
message

From SQL Enterprise

__

That is list of error

Error 1:SQL Server Agent on 127.0.0.1 currently uses the system
account

which cause replication between servers to fail

// Hint I created new local account and gave it all Administration
Group
then did not recognize new acount
Error 2:the new service startup account name you have supplied

is invalid or dose not exist



Error 3:Error 18483 could not connect to server IWS-DEV because
'distributer_admin'

is not defined as a remote login at the server

Last Message before error:

configure '127.0.0.1' as a Publisher. Use '127.0.0.1' as

the Distributor.

Configure the SQL Server Agent service on '127.0.0.1' to

start automatically when the computer is started.

Use 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL

Server\MSSQL\REPLDATA' as the root snapshot folder

for Publishers using this Distributor.

Store the distribution database 'distribution'

in ‘C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data'.

Store the distribution database log file in 'C:\Program

Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data'.

Enable the following databases on '127.0.0.1' for merge

replication:

pubs

Please if any one try with replication

Tell me How I configure the Server as Publisher and distributor and
finally little subscribers

Regards

Any one can help me and tell me How step by step to configure the db
