Here’s what I had to do, ntrudel. I had to install 1.7.1 in order to get it working again. My clients needed to send out some newsletters so I had to have a solution for them fast.
There is a plugin you can try call WP Rollback. It will rollback any installed plugin. Just make sure you have your site backed up first. I used that plugin to roll back this one and then everything seemed to work.
