 * I have the latest version of WordPress and for some reason there are parts of
   my admin JavaScript that aren’t working. Specifically, anything that is suppose
   to call a thickbox, does not actually call the thickbox.
 * Another issue is that I cannot use the flash uploader because of this. I’ve overwritten
   all of my WordPress files to no avail.
 * Anyone else had this issue or no where to start looking for a solution?

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the Twenty Ten theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.
 * – re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a **fresh** download
   of WordPress?
 * – increasing the memory available to PHP?

 * Thanks for the advice esmi,
 * – Deactivated **all** plugins – did not resolve.
 * – Done – did not resolve.
 * – resetting the plugins folder is not necessary as no plugins are inactive and
   all plugins are new and up-to-date.
 * – Done – did not resolve.
 * – Definitely not the issue.
 * I am utterly dumbfounded right now.

 * This ended up being an issue with a SuPhp setting not allowing files with a chmod
   of 0744 to be read. The solution was to chmod them to 0755.
 * All is well.
