 * Look at wp-load.php line 52. It should end with `));`

 * Your upgrade did not complete successfully.
 * Try:
    – switching to the Twenty Ten theme by renaming your current theme’s folder
   in wp-content/themes using [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) or whatever
   file management application your host provides. You may need to try logging into
   your site to get this to kick in fully.
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or phpMyAdmin.
 * – re-uploading all files & folders – **except** the wp-content folder – from 
   a **fresh** download of WordPress.
 * – re-running the upgrade manually using wp-admin/upgrade.php.

 * I have finally solved it by:-
    1) downloading the wordpress 3.1 files into my
   PC. 2) Unzip the files. 3) I FTP the following files to my blogsite wp-load.php
   wp-login.php wp-settings.php
 * 4) problem solved.
 * Thanks guys for your suggestion
