do anyone know what this error means?

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to localhost:25 (A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. ) in C:\wamp\www\accountingability\modules\CMSMailer\phpmailer\class.smtp.php on line 105

and how do I get the form to work?

Are you able to send a test email from CMSMailer?  Go to the Admin Panel > Extensions > CMSMailer and make sure you can send a test email.

Do you have any sort of local firewall software?  It looks like you might have something blocking anything connecting to port 25. 

Also, a lot of ISPs block port 25 so you may not be able to send from  your local machine to the internet via port 25.  Although that is not your exact problem right now as you aren't even able to connect to port 25 at the local machine.  But to send email from your local machine period, you will probably need to set the smtp hostname, port and maybe even set the authentication to the same as you have setup for your email from your ISP.

You'll need to check with them for those settings if you don't know them or don't know how to check your email client for those settings.

But first you need to make sure you can send a test email from CMSMailer.  If that works then we can start helping you if the FormBuilder still won't send.

test email doesn't work. I'm running nortons if that helps

You need to get that working before sending email from other CMSms modules will work.

I don't use or know ANY Norton "anti-virus"/"firewall" products.  Hit google or Norton's help file to find out how to open a port.

i had the same problem and fixed it in the cmsmailer-adminpanel with using sendmail insteed of smtp. That works for me.
