Okay, I installed a fresh copy of WP 2.8 and migrated my database via phpMyAdmin from my old host to my new one. Blog loads fine and everything is running. However, I've found a weird whatchamacallit when I uploaded an image and edited it from the Visual Editor.
When I click on the edit button within the image, it loads my blog like it's loading a theme preview:

When I click the image media button below the post title, it loads fine but the form layout is all the way to the right:

1. Is this a bug?
2. How do I fix it?
Thanks in advance.
Try deactivating all plugins and check to see if this resolves the problem. If it does, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
Switch to the default theme to rule out any theme-related problems.

Deactivated all plugins
Solved 1 problem "media-library.jpg" only. Found the wordpress plugin; Flexible Upload, is causing the layout problem when viewing the image in the post media library.
Activated default theme
Didn't help with any of the problems.
Other things I've tried:
- Disable Gears - not using them on my browsers.
- Upload fresh copy of wp-content and wp-includes - doesn't solve "edit-image".
- Used Tools > Upgrade - doesn't solve "edit-image".
- Confirm that Your Profile, "Disable the visual editor when writing", is NOT checked. - doesn't solve "edit-image" problem.
I feel like doing a fresh install on another folder without plugins. Just to see if it has something to do with the installation elsewhere.
But if anyone has another idea on how they resolved such a problem, let me know please. Thanks.

A fresh installation of Wordpress without plugins and previous data from the plugins created in the database ultimately solves "edit image" problem.
Going to continue troubleshooting by:
1. Uploading similar plugins.
2. Restoring database data linked to plugins into fresh blog.
3. Upload and activate theme in use.
Hopefully, this'll be a better method of me finding the culprit.
But as usual, if anyone has another way to solve this instantly. I'm all ears.
Could be that one of the old plugins was still creating a problem even though it had been deactivated. I normally suggest renaming the plugins folder via FTP as a final test.

I've finally managed to rid myself of the problem. I noticed the database table wp_options was weirdly creating this problem for me. Therefore, database backup wasn't doable.
My solution:
Re-installed Wordpress in a new folder with the same plugins. Setup everything as the original blog. Then, imported in backed up XML file via Wordpress and moved upload files from original to the new folder. Once everything was in order, I renamed the original folder to blog2 and change the new folder to the original name; blog.
A tedious process but I've finally solved that annoying problem. :)
