Solved. elsewhere I got pointed at the Dashboard/General settings. Somehow the URLs for WordPress and other were blank. Dont ask me how. But filled them in, and now can login via IE and Firefox.
Dont ask me to explain any of the above, but it worked.

Hi ClaytonJames. Tried that, well actually just deactivated the plugins. But still didnt work. I noticed, on IE, when I typed in the wrong password, IE alerted me, telling me to enable cookies and use the correct password etc. But cookies are enabled. However, the messages tells me it was getting through to the password section somehow.
I cant believe I am the only one to encounter this. I will be sticking with V3.0 on the other sites meanwhile.
But thanks for your suggestions though

Thanks ClaytonJames. I get the login screen, either via wp-admin or I have tried wp-login.php. I then enter ID and password. The browser hesitates, then I get the empty login screen displayed. All okay on Chrome. And, like i say, my V3.0 sites are okay on all browswers. There are no error messages, redirects, just the blank login screen.

I agree. Changed the permissions, then it threw the whole site into a 403 error. I got it back, but havent really figured out out how to restore the correct permissions – it seems the CHMOD changed lots of folders under the main one.

Add my kudos to this plugin. Have used it twice now, and I am not an expert. Very nice product

Great plugin. Better than tags4pages which doesnt.
