Simple Access not removed

I did not remove Simple Access before an upgrade from 4.7 to 5.0. Now modules like contact and image are not behaving properly. Can anybody suggest a way to purge Simple Access or to rebuild with my existing data?

Thanks.

drupal 4.7 on mysql-4.0.27: Problems when upgrading to mysql 4.1!

This is not a duplicate of http://drupal.org/node/110789 but I have investigated further with my ISP and a weird situation arised, I need clarifications, because I'm very very worried.

What happened:

my web site has drupal 4.7.9 and mysql 4.0.27
it is hosted at atjeu.com, on a shared hosting plan and has cpanel
The server got seriously hacked so the technicians re-initialized the server and restored the backups. The only difference is that the new cpanel they installed has a newer version of mysql (4.1.21)

My web site did not display accented letters anymore, all garbled.

After three days of struggling, when the ISP just replied "your db is not mysql-4.1 ready", I googled a lot and learnt that mysql-4.0 stores all data as latin1, so --I guess-- drupal is clever enough to convert it on the fly to utf8.

My question is: how to upgrade a working drupal installation from mysql-4.0.x to mysql-4.1 or even 5.x?

Reading here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/charset-conversion.html
you have to take serious precautions before and after upgrade to preserve existing data and to properly convert the character set to utf8.

In any case, the ISP says he doesn't care about such things, because all the procedure with cpanel is automated all the way through, backup and restore, no command line and minimal human intervention.

Can I get "Browse Archives" to work on 5.0?

I can not imagine why they did away with "Browse Archives" it was very popular.

Anyway, is there way to put a small calendar on the front page of site, when using 5.0?

Is there a flatcomments module for 5.0?

The subject basically says it all. The only thing I'm waiting for to upgrade to 5.0 is the flatcomments module. I see it in HEAD, but is it for 4.7 or 5.0? Can anyone point me in the right direction please? Thank you.
