I have exactly the same problem with a fresh install on my local (XP) machine, I installed once and re-istalled twice still no joy.

Permalinks work in default and with index.php/ but nothing else works.

Apart from re-installing for a forth time and spending hours looking at config files I don’t understand is there anything I should check for (I’ve checked everything four times but I may have missed something)?

All very good points chuckblue and I agree editing with a good text editor is the best way to go, however when I don’t have FTP access (for instance when I’m on the road interstate etc.) it would be very handy to be able to make changes remotely.

I was able to edit files that were not in the wp directory before, if anybody knows what has changed and has any possible suggestions that would be fantastic.

Cheers.
