 * Recently installed WP 2.0, and I am running PHP5 Windows 2003 Server, IIS 6.0.
   I can’t activate any plugins, it says they are activated when I click activate
   under the admin console, but the deactivate option never appears, so it is not
   working. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 * Good luck getting an answer to that one. If you do a search and browse through
   some of the archives, you’ll find that there doesn’t seem to be one particular
   fix for this problem. Different people have had the same problem, and for whatever
   reason, each of them had a different resolution to it.
 * Trying browsing the archives, do searches for “can’t activate plugins” or “plugin
   page doesn’t work” and start trying out some of the solutions that come up.
 * Good luck. 🙂
