I'm experiencing a very strange problem and it's not the first time...  The version I'm running is 4.5.5.

Here's what happens... when I'm logged in as host clicking on various linkbuttons causes the mode to switch from edit to view or back again.  I can't even log out by clicking on the logout link, all that happens is the screen refreshes and the mode changes to the opposite of what it just was.  I can still navigate the site, but any type of editing actions (move a module up, down, etc.) causes the refresh and mode change.

I can manually click the mode to what I want, but this doesn't keep it there.

I can edit a module, using the drop down menu and clicking on settings, but the settings don't stick... I get an error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

I can't delete a module... this just causes the mode change.

I can't use the page functions in the admin toolbar... just causes the mode change.  I can't even add a link in the link module... when I click Link Type to change it from URL to Page, it just causes a refresh and mode change.

This happens in both IE 7 and Firefox 2.

Here is the error from the Event Viewer (when I cause an error):

Here's some more information about my set up:  It's a pretty standard install, but I am using a couple of purchased modules:

- Snapsis PageBlaster, Report Grid/Chart  NOTE: This occurs on pages that don't have any custom modules showing too (like the Event Viewer Page)

Finally, I should note that the site has been running just fine for months now.  I have occasionally seen this happen, but I've just left and come back a different day and it seems to go away.  Now, it's been like this for more than 2 days.  I am pulling out my hair... any suggestions would be very helpful.

Thanks!

Update to this post:

I was able to "reset" the DNN install by restarting IIS - not a good solution, but I was desperate.  What would be going on here?

Does no one else experience this?  I have several DNN sites and experience it from time to time on all of them.  Seems like once it starts it won't stop... makes working with the sites very problematic.

Feedback would be helpful :)

I have the same error, that appears 1 of every 3 times I edit some module. It only appears while updating and it is as you say "Very Frustrating". 
Does some on have any clues?

Here is the error:

Any suggestions are VERY WELCOME
