   In the Apache settings. Are you using waamp or xaamp?

   Neither, I installed Apache and PHP myself.

   http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html

   You need to make sure that's installed and set up. Do you know how to do that manually?

   Uhh... Nope. I uncommented the line in httpd.conf that says LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so, but I still get the 404s. Is there something else to do?

   Did you restart apache after making the change?
