Thanks for your reply, this was a new install from scratch, and i have made sure i am running different skins and modules on host and portal, but still not luck.   Please note, the only thing i can not get is when i go to Admin>Pages and try an access pages and edit it through this way,  i have other sites using the same skins etc and i have no issues, so it is really strange. 

It is working for many people - BUT there are potentially tens of thousands of possible combinations of install scenarios all of which may catch a person up in one way or another.  

That's actually the reason why DNN600 was release in beta - so that the community would become involved in crowdtesting the product before it got released.  DNN600 represents a MAJOR redevelopment of the dotnetnuke platform - and for a x.0.0 release to be honest its about what anyone would expect.

DNN601 is due out within a couple of days - this is where I would start my testing and evaluation.
