Hi
Sorry, forgot to update this, I resolved this by changing the permalink settings to ‘Post name’ and everythign works fine

HI
Just to update, my colleague suggested using Microsoft Web Platform installer which has WordPress listed as supported application, and this has cured all the problem, so wordpress is working perfectly in my windows environment.
Thanks for the assistance anyway

is CURL the command line tool?

Hi Jamie
Thanks for update. Excuse my ignorance but what is CURL ? I have a friend who is running wordpress fine on windows 2008 after a troublesome install on Linux was abandoned, which is why I went for windows. Is there nothing that can be tweaked to make things work on Windows?
Thanks

have reposted under the installation section

Is this a java problem ? I have tried it now on 3 different machines, 2 windows 7 laptops and one Imac, using browsers safari, firefox and ie, all latest versions, some with java v7 and some with v6, but no joy.
thanks.

sorry, will add that wordpress version is 3.5.1
