    Are you sure you're doing it right? Make sure you go on settings > permalinks and select custom structure, then paste the following in there:

    /%category%/%postname%/

    Yea did you changed your .htaccess file? Maybe you need to rewrite it manually. WP will show you what to rewrite on your permalink page.

    why need to change .htaccess?
    when you are changin the permalink form, and save it, this should update the .htaccess automatically

    jsut try back to old/default permalink form, and then change it to custom again

    Look into your website folder where are all other files.
    [​IMG]

    If you have .htaccess file open it and search for

    # BEGIN WordPress

    # END WordPress

    and change inside with what you got on Permalink Settings

    If you dont have .htaccess file create one and add what you got in Permalink Settings

    If wordpress cant access or create .htaccess file when you go on Permalink Settings page and click save changes wordpress will show you below button code for your .htaccess file.

    Not all hosts will allow third party scripts (Wordpress) to create/edit files.

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress

    wow who runs windows web servers :)
    you can also ftp to your server and right click on the .htaccess file and give it 777 permissions , wordpress will edit it for you
