Thanks I deleted wp-admin and wp-include folder from the server and copied then copied the previous release to the server and that is working now. The nifty ‘wordpress 3.2 is available please upgrade now message’ is going to catch quite a few people like me who should know better but upgraded before checking the requirments!
I have the same problem – most of us won’t check version first and will run into this problem. I want to roll back by reinstalling the old version whcih I have done BUT I am getting the same message again now even with the old version in place so I’ll be poking through the php to see where they set this. I may need to track down a file saved somewhere to get back to the old version. Very frustrating.
