MG Thanks for trying to help me but I figured out the problem by mistake. For some reason the rewrite mod doesn't seem to work with sub directories.

my site was http://www.mrwizard516.com/forum/    I changed it to http://www.mrwizard516.com/ and now it works perfectly.

He he he... maybe you had just to change your base root...



But what is important is that you have fixed it...

Just for knowledge... you may even try to adjust the BASE path if you wish... and then let me know!

I think you might have misunderstood me or if you didn't I'll explain just incase someone else comes across this problem.  
What I meant was that my original path was as follows:

I had my server setup where my home directory was
C:/xampp/htdocs/forum.
I moved everything from the /forum folder into /htdocs  so the new path reads
C:/xampp/htdocs

One minor question. Which is better for a server, Windows XP Pro or SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10?

No I don't think I misunderstood... that option is meant to change the root path of your forum!

Anyway, what is important is that you have solved your issue.

Regarding the server, I don't really know... but I think Linux is better...

Thanks for the reply.
I was using Suse Linux 10 but ran into problems trying to get some features to work, so I switched back to Windows XP. I am currently waiting for a copy of Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 to come in. Maybe when I get it I could pick you brain for a little help. I am not really familiar with Linux so I could use all the help that I could get.
