The orig problem started a couple of weeks ago with an intermittent 500 Internal Server Error.

My host said they "fixed" the prob. However, checkout was still quite laborious for some folks.

After reading here for days and figuring it couldn't get any worse, I 're' uploaded a backup of copy of my admin file. Completely overwrote.

I was going to go ahead and do a complete upgrade, but I don't even know where to start and which files to ftp to my desktop to 'restyle' my site after the upgrade.

As you can imagine, candle shop. Lot's o products lol.
