 * I have a new install with the latest release 2.8.4 running on IIS6 with Mysql
   5 and PHP5. I am unable to use most of the functions in the admin panels. IE 
   indicates an error every time a load any admin page. The messages look like this:
 * Message: Invalid character

 * Found the problem with this one. Apparently the PHP.ini file had a setting for
   Magic_quotes_runtime = on it should be off. Changing this fixed all the issues.
   Whew, what a relief.

 * php.ini is not part of the wordpress installation – its part of the php configuration
   and its location depends on the host – ask your hosting provider for its location
