# Visual Editor never appears!

 * I installed wordpress through Yahoo webhosting service (no choice) and then upgraded
   to 2.7 manually. The thing is, the visual editor NEVER worked, and still isn’t
   working. It’s driving me crazy because one of the primary reasons I installed
   WP in the first place was the editor…
 * Here is a screenshot of what I’m seeing when I go into the “edit” or “write” 
   tab:
    [click here](http://www.matguys.com/visual.jpg)
 * Please tell me what I can do to fix this. Is this a .htaccess problem? I don’t
   have any .htaccess uploaded anywhere… or something else?

 * I have to check on the PHP errors but I tried the js_cache method, checked the
   tiny_mce_config file to make sure that it read “false” and no spaces were there,
   I also went ahead and made sure that wp_includes was CHMOD to 755.
 * The thing is, I’m wondering if it’s just me not setting it to visual editor. 
   Is there a button I click?

 * Yes, under Users there is a setting for “Use Visual Editor”

 * I tried to check that box as well, no luck whatsoever ='(. I just really need
   this to work so that I can put some nice tables in there without it looking like
   crazy code to my client.
