Pretty URLs not working - Keep getting 404 error [SOLVED]

Hi,

I am seriously new to this and hope someone can help me.
After a very successful and easy install of CMs Made simple I followed the instructions on how to set-up Pretty URL's.
I made the recommended changes to the config.php and .htaccess files but keep getting the following error:
====================================
Not Found
The requested URL /christianity.html was not found on this server.

Apache/1.3.41 Server at christchurchnorthfinchley.co.uk Port 80
=====================================

Below is a copy of the .htaccess file:
=====================================
# Attempt to override some php settings, these settings may be helpful on some hosts if your
# default configuration does not meet CMS's minimum requirements, and your host
# has given your account appropriate permissions
#php_value upload_max_filesize "10M"
#php_value session_save_path "tmp/cache"

#php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
#php_flag register_globals Off
#php_flag session.use_trans_sid Off

# (this is important, so uncomment if your host permit)
#Options -Indexes
#ServerSignature Off

Options +FollowSymLinks



RewriteEngine on
#Sub-dir e.g: /cmsms

RewriteBase /
# 301 Redirect all requests that don't contain a dot or trailing slash to
# include a trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.
RewriteRule ^(.*) %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]

# Rewrites urls in the form of /parent/child/
# but only rewrites if the requested URL is not a file or directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?page=$1 [QSA]


================================

My site can be seen here:
www.christchurchnorthfinchley.co.uk

It is being hosted on a remote sever, with PHP 5.2 and Apache 5.0.

Thanks

Are you sure that you have apache rewrite module?
Ask your provider or look in phpinfo

All official apache modules:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/

But this is not relative to CMSMS
