Using Expression Engine on a local host and getting a database error

Question

I backed up my website and installed it on my local machine using xampp. Well, after creating a database and connecting it, I ran into this error

Error Number: 1146

Table 'mysql.exp_sites' doesn't exist

SELECT * FROM (`exp_sites`) WHERE `site_id` = 1

Filename: C:\xampp\htdocs\website\sitecontrol\codeigniter\system\database\DB_driver.php

Line Number: 330

I have looked into the database and this query exists and also the data. I don't know what to do to resolve it
