 * In a new install, I have added two widgets and in both cases I get a Parse error:
   syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in different lines of different files
   for each. I have examined the code and do not see anything obvious.
 * Banner Rotator FX, Google Calendar Events
 * Any suggestions?

 * Try decativating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one
   individually until you find the cause.
 * If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Default theme (WordPress
   2.9) or the Twenty Ten theme (WordPress 3.0) to rule-out a theme-specific issue.

 * No plugins are active… * All (4) | * Inactive (4)
 * Current theme is default: Twenty Ten 1.1 by the WordPress team
 * This happened immediately once I tried to activate either one of the two plugins.

 * I substituted —- for specific site info…

 * I should also say that I have initially uploaded from within WP, but the later
   deleted them several times and FTP’d them up manually. I have also tried a previous
   version of one of them and not successful there either.

    This may be attributed to my installation
   methods and I will try this one again…

 * Same here: Tried to install “portfolio theme” on a freshWP 3.0.l with no plug
   ins installed. Cannot activate this theme because of this. Have to remove it 
   via ftp.
