No worries. It’s difficult when the same problem shows up, and from Googling this topic I can see that it’s widespread.
I just flushed cache/deleted cookies in both Chrome and Explorer and tried the sites, and THEY ALL WORK. (The original problem was also showing up in other browsers, by the way.)
I can only put it down to reinstalling the files over the existing ones (by the way, I didn’t delete the old folders, either… just replaced them: all but wp-content) and then flushing the cache, since nothing else I did had any effect. (Unless Hostgator has somehow fixed the problem on a server-wide basis, of course.)
Whatever the reason it’s working, I’m breathing a big sigh of relief.

OK: I have a breakthrough.
I cleared the cache on my Firefox browser and waited a while, then tried my WordPress site again.
Hooray! My visual editor was back and I was able to upload a photo.
Tried one of my other sites – still not working. So I manually uploaded all files from the fresh version of 3.5 (downloaded from the ww.wp.xz.cn site) EXCEPT for wp-content, flushed Firefox cache, closed the browser, opened the site and signed in – and same result: everything is now working.
I’ll do the same for my other WP sites.
Cheers
