The only thing which the clean URLs setting does is to make Drupal
actually use them in the menu links, if they are *already* enabled by
.htaccess. So, try to type some clean URLs yourself in your browser to
see if they work. If they do work, then the problem is not clean URLs
but saving your setting.

If they work, try also to force-enable them in your settings.php file
by adding a $conf['clean_url'] = 1; at the end.
