Well, as a newbie you you'll need a) the software, minimal an editor to 
write and save your documents and a LaTeX-engine to "compile" them and 
b) recommended some advice how to start.

For operating systems based on Windows (XP and 7) you might try the 
ProTeXt-package for a). ProTeXt is also shipped with additional 
documents which explain how to install the system and doing the first 
steps in writing LaTeX-documents.

Hope this helps - ThF
