    I attempted to update wp from 3.1 to 3.2.1 and now I get a fatal error:
    Allowed memory size of 262144 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 77824 bytes) in /home/bestmmat/public_html/wp-admin/includes/dashboard.php on line 88`

    I know I forgot to disable the plugins before running the update, and I cannot access the plugins to disable them. I get another fatal error
    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 262144 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 77824 bytes) in /home/bestmmat/public_html/wp-admin/edit-form-advanced.php on line 64`

    Any suggestions?

    You can deactivate the plugins by simply removing them from the "plugins" folder.
    For example: create a backup folder, move all the plugins in there and try to access your dashboard. After that, if everything is ok, just move the plugins back to their folder and activate them one by one.

    I removed the plugins from the folder as you suggested, I am now getting a different fatal error msg.

    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 262144 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 19456 bytes) in /home/bestmmat/public_html/wp-admin/menu-header.php on line 59

    Any other suggestions?

    To increase the amount of memory WordPress can use, add this to your wp-config.php:
    define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '96M');
