Are there any errors in the error_log of your server mentioning AdRotate around the time you updated?
Check out this thread http://wordpress.org/support/topic/parse-error-200?replies=6
Well, we lost the error log from immediately after I updated since we had to roll back to last night’s back up. Below are error codes that came about from me deactivating the plugin. I’m wondering if it’s that call-out in my header <?php echo adrotate_ad(1); ?>

Other than the “undefined function” errors it seems like none of this applies to AdRotate.
If you activate the plugin those should go away.
All other errors are in files that are not related to or used by AdRotate.
The certificate errors are because you have mod_ssl (or similar) active but no valid certificate on your server. Consult with your webhost for details on this.
Did you follow the steps in the earlier linked post?
We’re going to try to reinstall the plugin manually this evening, if that’s what you mean. Is this the link you’re talking about?

The plugin IS activated right now. When I deactivate it, it takes the site down, just like when I updated to the new version. Can you think of any reason why that would be true?
I have deleted the errant call out of Adrotate in my header (<?php echo adrotate_ad(1); ?>) and that did not solve the problem.
There is something else going on and I can’t figure it out. What it means is that I am stuck with the current version, can’t upgrade it, and can’t deactivate or delete it. It’s quite frustrating as you might imagine.
Manual reinstallation did work. Thanks for you time and help.
Oh yes, I didn’t pay attention to the earlier post. Busy, the crazy heat… Take your pick.
I thought I linked to the manual here. But it was the topic instead… Oops.
I indeed meant this link:

Good you figured it out 🙂
