Hey Guys,
I am sure it's actually a pretty simple fix - but my joom sef isnt rewriting ANY urls what-so ever anymore!

www.thehideawayonline.com/

www.thehideawayonline.com/component/page...irtuemart/Itemid,26/
should be www.thehideawayonline.com/products/digital-scales/

www.thehideawayonline.com/content/view/25/45/
Should be www.thehideawayonline.com/knowledge-center/

www.thehideawayonline.com/content/view/30/52/
Should be www.thehideawayonline.com/contact-us.html

everything WAS working then it just stopped working when i disabled and re-enabled it!

# READ THIS COMPLETELY IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE THIS FILE
#
# The line just below this section: 'Options FollowSymLinks' may cause problems
# with some server configurations. It is required for use of mod_rewrite, but may already
# be set by your server administrator in a way that dissallows changing it in
# your .htaccess file. If using it causes your server to error out, comment it out (add # to
# beginning of line), reload your site in your browser and test your sef url's. If they work,
# it has been set by your server administrator and you do not need it set here.
#
# Only use one of the two SEF sections that follow. Lines that can be uncommented
# (and thus used) have only one #. Lines with two #'s should not be uncommented
# In the section that you don't use, all lines should start with #
#
# For Standard SEF, use the standard SEF section. You can comment out
# all of the RewriteCond lines and reduce your server's load if you
# don't have directories in your root named 'component' or 'content'
#
# If you are using a 3rd Party SEF or the Core SEF solution
# uncomment all of the lines in the '3rd Party or Core SEF' section

##### SOLVING PROBLEMS WITH COMPONENT URL's that don't work #####
# SPECIAL NOTE FOR SMF USERS WHEN SMF IS INTEGRATED AND BRIDGED
# OR ANY SITUATION WHERE A COMPONENT's URL's AREN't WORKING
#
# In both the 'Standard SEF', and '3rd Party or Core SEF' sections the line:
# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/component/option,com) [NC,OR] ##optional - see notes##
# May need to be uncommented. If you are running your Joomla! from
# a subdirectory the name of the subdirectory will need to be inserted into this
# line. For example, if your Joomla! is in a subdirectory called '/test/',
# change this:
# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/component/option,com) [NC,OR] ##optional - see notes##
# to this:
# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(/test/component/option,com) [NC,OR] ##optional - see notes##

there is my .htaccess


P.S I use Joomla 1.0.12 with Virtuemart 1.1 Stable
Latest version of Artio joomsef for this configuration.

Edit: I think I found the problem - but i can't fix it... when I go to configuration it says Artio JoomSef is off

When I try to enable it... it says "This will purge your urls... " I click ok then it says "Errors on page" and doesnt enable it.

Please Note: This issue was fixed by changing from Internet Explorer to firefox - is this plugin not compatible with latest version of Internet Exlporer? Interesting.
