Now you click on 'update all' and things should start off. </div>

use to install modules is I use to goto my modules area in my admin<br>
panel on drupal and click the install modules link, then I would go to<br>
either upload a module or enter URL, in which case I have tried both.<br>
well, when I click install, nothing happens it just takes me back to the<br>
previous screen! and when and if I try to click the install button for<br>
the second time, it just brings up a black screen. in short, it doesn't<br>
even take me to the ftp settings for installing the modules any more...<br>
does anyone knows why this is happening? Thanks.<br>
