I have gone over this thread several times- here is what I have done, to no avail:
Fresh database, etc
Fresh WordPress
No themes other than the default (so the Thesis stuff doesn’t apply to me)
No plugins except those which came with the download, which I got rid of.
The “screen options” and “help” menus at the top of the page do not drop down (so I can’t change any settings, on ANY page)
The widgets don’t drag and drop, and the “password strength” indicator in the initial setup, did not work either, btw
I’ve tried installing some plugins to see if that would get the javascript to run. nope.
I’ve used firefox, chrome, IE, seamonkey browsers
I’ve cleared my cache and temp files etc.
I’ve used 2 different computers, and I’ve loaded this about 4 different times (using 2.9 and 2.9.1 RCI)
I tried to load an earlier version – wouldn’t let me install.
I’m using XP
I’m a secretary at a school, not an IT person or programmer, though I can navigate my way around pretty well.
I would love it if someone could resolve this!
