Try resetting your custom permalinks back to the default setting and deleting/renaming your WordPress .htaccess file. If that works, then try reading Using_Permalinks before setting a custom permalink structure again.

Thanks for the reply but there is nothing to reset in the permalinks. This was a new site and the permalinks were all set at default values. I just could never change any of them.
I thought it might be a permissions problem but i’ve opened up the permissions on the .htaccess file and still no luck.

have you followed instructions of the link I listed above?
Definitely try using the default .htaccess file for wordpress:
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
There are some other things you can try as well:

There’s a bug in the new version. Have a look through the troubleshooting forum for some fix ideas.
