 * Hi, if someone can help me that would be great. For some reason of which I have
   no idea, a problem just cropped up. When I go to my login page and put in my 
   username and password and click login, a dialog box pops up with that says on
   top:
 * Opening wp-login.php
 * Then it says in the box…
 * “You have chosen to open wp-login.php” and it says what should Firefox do with
   the file, open with Wordpad or Save. When I do either, the file opens with nothing
   on it.
 * This never used to happen before. It used to just go to the dashboard.
 * When I go to the wp-login.php file in my server, it is NOT empty at all. The 
   domain name I’m using to get to the page is:
 * [http://www.myname.com/wp-login.php](http://www.myname.com/wp-login.php)
 * Does anyone know what’s going on? It’s driving me crazy.

 * I’ve seen this happen most frequently when a server is over-loaded. See if the
   behavior changes at different times of the day, maybe send a note to your host…

 * I’d bend the host over and spank them, and put them on a time out.. Get another
   host prolly..is a better suggestion lol.. I dunno though, never really heard 
   of this before..
