THis is the reply I have receieved from my hosting company which I have no idea how to implement (not safely and without causing potentialo problems)

Your WordPress site is hosted on windows server and on windows server mod-rewrite is not supported.
WordPress requires rewrite module for the custom permalinks. You do not have any such rewrite module installed on
the server. If you wish you can use Helicon ISAPI rewrite module on your server. You can refer to greenwidget.com/
to know better about Helicon ISAPI.

Can anyone help with this? I changed servers a few months ago and had nothing but problems and really don't want to go through that again. I seem to be 'stuck between a rock and a hard place'.
