What happens when you turn off SEF?

VM2.0.1 was a development version for testing only, not for use on live sites, and is known to have a security issue.

SEF can be a real pain. Maybe ask on the SEF board: http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?board=116.0

thanks for your help jenkin you helped greatly, it was the fact i had removed the SEO suffix '-detail' soon as I added a suffix it all started working again, thanks once again.
