I have installed WAMP and have all services running. I have downloaded my Drupal site files and db and set up in WAMP. When I access my site via http://localhost/robonline which is the folder my site is in I come to the front page of my Drupal site but when I try to log into the site or open any page e.g. http://localhost/robonline/node/2 or whatever I get a 404 Not found error.
The only thing I can think of is that my stats page in Drupal admin says I am running MySQL database 4.1.21 whereas WAMP is looking for MySQL 5.x
Any suggestions?

I had this same problem and found out that by default WAMP does not enable the rewrite Apache module. After enabling that the rewrite rules in drupal's .htaccess file took effect and everything worked.

In WAMP you can enable modules using it's menu that sits in the Windows task bar. The module is called rewrite_module in that menu.

I hope this helps!
