 * I can’t create an event, because:
    _Missing fields: event\_start\_date. Dates
   must have correct formatting. Please use the date picker provided.
 * But there is no date picker! And it doesn’t accept manually entered dates. I 
   tried every formating.
 * Using now EM version 4.0.83.

 * could be a js conflict.
 * please try deactivating other plugins and or changing to default theme (temporarily)
   to confirm. You can also inspect for any js error

 * I deactivate other plugins, but it didn’t work…I also noticed that when in e.
   x. in dashboard, the “Screen Options” and “Help” links doesn’t work.
 * I can’t update wordpress because I don’t have the latest PHP (5.2.4). I’m using
   PHP 5.1.6.
 * Here is a screenshot [http://cl.ly/2j1L1Z2l291U3T2w0H2l](http://cl.ly/2j1L1Z2l291U3T2w0H2l)
 * Will re-installing WordPress work? Will I loose everything when I re-install
