I'm using Wampserver on two different Windows PCs. I think this is the error I got when I first set things up. If you have a .htaccess file, that won't work within Windows. I simply renamed mine on the local and it solved the problem.
Also, a tip (if using .htaccess on remote): Add 'index.php' to the end of your 'base_url' item in config. Leave the 'index_page' item empty. That way, you don't need to make any changes to any of your URL structure. Your local setup should match the remote. You will need to add 'index.php' to your local URLs when accessing the site in the local browser, i.e.: 'http://localhost/folder/index.php/controller/function'
Hope this helps.
