htaccess password promt comes twice

Hi,
I configured inserting following in the httpd.conf :
<Directory "C:/Programme/Apache 2/htdocs/">
AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
<Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Limit>
<LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</LimitExcept>
</Directory>

then configured the .htacess file inserting this

AuthUserFile C://Programme/Apache2/htdocs/phpmy/.htpasswd
AuthName Sorry!
AuthType Basic
require valid-user

Everything works the password promt comes twice. The first input fails, the
second works.
why is that ?

thanks for any help

Thanks for the link, I did all that but there is the same problem.

a.. Always use the trailing slash when requesting directories;
b.. Change the ServerName to match the name you are using in the URL; and/or
c.. Set UseCanonicalName off.

As was already asked, what does your error log say?

Give us an internet-accessible URL that shows the problem along with a
user/password.
