 * I am upgrading to 2.2.
    I have ftp my site as a backup to my local computer. 
   Also backed up my database.
 * When I go to Plugins on my site, to deactivate them, all I get is a blank page.
 * I have quite a few plugins installed, but I have no access to them.
 * Any ideas please?

 * So if you look in wp-content/plugins do you see any files.
 * If you do, check permisssions on wp-content, wp-content/plugins folder. They 
   should be 755 (if not 777).

 * If permissions are correct, you could be having a plugin compatibility problem.
   There is an issue where you may start getting blank login pages and such. It 
   didn’t pop up with me until about 3 hours after my initial login. If that happens,
   try renaming the plugin folder to something else temporarily.

 * Al the folders have the correct permission of 755 and i can see all content. 
   The php files are set to 644.
 * I haven’t changed anything on the plugins but I will try renaming the folder 
   and see if that cures the problem

 * re-named plugin folder, opened WP and then changed name back to plugins.
 * After that the plugins appeared ok on my admin panel.
 * Great,
