After manual install of wp 303 I am experiencing the following werrorsd and bad behavior on various admin pages
1. COMMENTS ADMIN -- the select all button does not work when selecting spam
2. POST EDIT PAGE -- when searching image library the results do not have images nor does SHOW produce the image edit page
3. WIDGETS ADMION -- the drop down menus for for sidebar 1 and 2 no longer work; unable to drag widgets from list to either sidebar; unable to access help link from widget page
checking possible plugin incompatibility now
Most likely culprits would be one or more bad plugins or a bad theme.
, except for image thumbnails reappearing, same problems with Twenty Ten and now when selecting back to thesis 1.8 sidebars are gone completely
a truly awesome fail
reloaded thesis 1.8, still kaplooey.
Went back to twentyten and widget page is total fail with all plugins off.
something in wp 303
Try re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh download of WordPress.
Server said: Can't remove directory: Directory not empty
Error -126: remote rmdir failed
Warning: require(/home/h2c/public_html/wp-includes/default-constants.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/h2c/public_html/wp-settings.php on line 20

after several tries, new wp-admin and new wp-includfes does not solve issue
Perhaps it's a memory issue. Try increasing the memory available to PHP:

ISSUE RESOLVED
Since the issues involved javascript across themes we looked for corrupted files and found .htaccess had been overwritten by test use of BULLET PROOF SECURITY.
BPS had apparently used some of its source for its htaccess rewrite from
http://perishablepress.com/press/2009/03/16/the-perishable-press-4g-blacklist/
The problem was WordPress tries to load jquery-ui-droppable.js file and that htaccess rule flagged these calls as a hacking attempt. Disabling this rule solved issue.
Hopefully this will also clear up the problems with autoupdate not completing
Thanks to all for their suggestions.
