 * Hi everyone! Can you help me with this problem that i can not activate the HTML
   mode when i create a new page or a new post? The HTML in the editor is just faded
   out and when i clicked on it, nothing happened. It was not even a button, it 
   was just some kind of a text. Please help me ! I need to access to HTML code 
   to tweak some thing for my posts. Thank you for helping me ! [http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/9521/81094611.jpg](http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/9521/81094611.jpg)

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.
 * – re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a **fresh** download
   of WordPress?
 * – increasing the available memory?

 * Yes, Your first solution worked well. My flash plug-in was the problem. Thank
   you.
