enable bcrypt for Laravel in Windows

Question

I have read the bcrypt is by default supported in Linux and Mac OSX. I am implementing a program to use bcrypt, however i get the error Bcrypt hashing not supported.

I am using Laravel framework version 4.0.8 and PHP version 5.3.5 on a windows 7 64 bit machine. I already have mcrypt enabled.

Can anyone tell me how should i enable bcrypt in Windows?

According to Laravel Server Requeriments

• PHP >= 5.3.7
