i do not get an official ERROR message.
I re-set the plugin folder. error still happening.
as for the final one: what do you mean FRESH download of wordpress? i just updated the version yesterday and that didnt effect anything
i deactivated all- its not the pluging
i am on my 3rd theme. so i am certain its not theme related
i shall try the resetting the plugin folder and get back to you- thank you
