 * Sometimes very old versions of WP, themes, outdated plugins can give such results,
   there can be corrupt files, and conflicts with such outdated files. There can
   be several other reasons too. Anyway, as you run WordPress version 3.3.1, you
   need to update. Once you update, I think this problem will be over.

 * None of my pages are loading. The only pages i can get to work are html pages.
   How will updating my plugins get the pages to load properly?

 * Not only plugins, your WordPress installation is outdated. As I mentioned above,
   these outdated software and files can create problems as you face now. So, you
   have to update everything. Here are the detailed instructions for updating WP.
   Before doing anything, backup your database and deactivate your plugins:

 * There are other methods too. But if the core WP files are outdated, other methods
   can land you in more trouble.
