My blog isn't working but give this a read and see if it helps.
Blog-----------------------
I had a client yesterday who could no longer edit any of the columns in her
document library. Very strange behavior. I figured the large library was
corrupt so I created a new library on her server and had the same behavior.
So I started scratching my head. Turns out that Automatic updates had ran
and installed WSS SP2 for her. Apparently when it installed it did not
update the virtual servers. So if you went to WSS central admin and clicked
Configure Virtual Settings you would see Upgrade and you couldn't get into
the screens to edit the settings.



I tried to manually install WSS SP2 to correct the issues but it said nope
because it was already installed. So then from the command prompt I ran



stsadm.exe -o upgrade -forceupgrade



That fixes it!



Some other symptoms I have heard for this problem is that you can not edit
document or list properties and you can not apply new themes or templates.
Just FYI.



HTH (Hope This Helps)
