problem with mod_rewrite

hi there,
I've tried to rewrite a rule with mod_rewrite module but it doesn't work.

I followed many tutorials to do that; now, the steps that I use are:

- decomment the module rows on httpd.conf file

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
AddModule mod_rewrite.c

- create an alias and allowoverride in all

Alias "/rewrite/" "D:/archivio/php/rewriting/"
<Directory "D:/archivio/php/rewriting">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
AllowOverride All
#Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

- create a .htaccess in the directory D:/archivio/php/rewriting that contains the rows

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule productinfo/([0-9]+) productinfo.php?id=$1

- productinfo.php file with echo $id; just to test.

So, now it should be able to rewrite pointing my browser to http://localhost/rewrite/productinfo/123

but, as I said, it doesn't. And return

Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.

Apache/1.3.24 Server at localhost Port 80

Any suggestion? I use easyphp 1.6 w apache 1.3.24 on win XP Pro

thanx
