When I turn:

Code:

RewriteEngine on

That on I get

Server error!

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there was an error in a CGI script.

And in my httpd:

Code:

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Its obviously on.

Help + you = support
then
me = you talk++

Check the server error log to see details of exactly what's happening.

What about AddModule for mod_rewrite?

Yeah, it should be that.
If I remember right, xampp don't enable the modRewrite module by default.
