 * WordPress: 1.5.2.
    Site URL: [http://www.nerdseyeview.com/blog](http://www.nerdseyeview.com/blog)
   Default theme 1.5 with minor modifications.
 * My admin panel has lost all formatting on all screens. New plug-ins do not appear
   as selections. Menus are bulleted lists, tables appear to be tab delimited text.
   All links work, but ooo, it’s ugly.
 * I did delete the contents and reload the wp-admin folder, but it did not improve
   the layout.
 * Help?

 * Clear your browser’s cache, or hit F5 to force a clear reload of the admin page.

 * I cleared the cache and hit F5. It still doesn’t display correctly. I’m using
   Firefox 1.0.7 but I see the same layout issues in IE.

 * What happened to your `/wp-admin/wp-admin.css` file? It’s not a CSS file, it’s
   a bunch of un-parsed PHP code. You may want to download WordPress again, and 
   replace your copy of `/wp-admin/wp-admin.css` with a fresh one.
