404 Override Not Working

I this controller Notfound.php

Path: application > controllers > Notfound.php

I place it in the override 404 in routes

PHP Code:

$route['404_override'] = 'notfound'; 


But still does not show not overriding the 404.

I use virtual hosting with xampp

This is my htaccess

PHP Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks
Options -Indexes
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA] 


I am not sure why it is not overriding it anysuggestions?

My template library is autoloaded

PHP Code:

<?php

class Notfound extends CI_Controller
{
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}

public function index()
{
$this->template->set_title('Not Found!');

$this->template->render('error/not_found', $template = array());
}
} 


I trigger the show_404 on my controller viewthread which I have attached.
