 * My hosting provider recently moved from a linux server to a windows one. Now 
   I’m able to access the home page, and the admin page, but clicking on the posts
   and other pages results in 404 errors. I suspect it has something to do with 
   the htaccess no longer being used by the server or something.
 * Is there a solution, or something I’m missing?

 * Not really: there is no “nice” permalinks on Win servers. Maybe get a decent 
   host that doesn’t make such a dumb move?

 * It seems to work with new installs on the server though, just not previously 
   installed instances.
