Overlay and jQuery dont work on Win 7, but work on XP [#1129572]

I have installed Drupal 7 on a local computer on stack called Denwer (similar to WAMP) and Windows 7 (all system updates on march 2011); I see that all pages load without Overlay module (it is on, on modules page). Then i see that jQuery does not work at all: Views slideshow doesn't work, when I add node, all parameters load in a list instead of tab-listing mode.

I cleared all caches, reinstalled Drupal 7 using the development snapshot, clean-installed Denwer, installed another stack XAMPP: all this doesn't work. Strange, but on Drupal 6 all works perfect.

But, I remember I didn't have such problems on Windows XP early. Today i tried to use Drupal 7 on Windows XP and it works! On my PC i have 2 OS installed: 7 and XP, and after reboot i used the same Denwer stack and the same Drupal 7 install as on Windows 7. But no any problems with overlay and jQuery.

So, who knows why it happens?

Problem resolved. I still don't know why this problem arise, but after Windows 7 latest updates installed (on 18 apr 2011) overlay and jquery now working.

I had the same problem with Drupal 8, overlay won't work at all, this is the solution:

if you are using WAMP (or any other local apache like xampp) than go to: apache > modules, and enable rewrite_module (the official name is mod_rewrite)
it solved the problem for me right away! this module is not enabled by deafult in WAMP...

I figured the problem was there because kiamlaluno said (in another post) that is't a URL issue...

Hope this works for whoever googles this problem in the future
