BuddyPress.org

I am having trouble on my site theepicsandbox.com. After installing Buddy press, the top featured post slider stopped working. I found some code in an earlier post on these forums:

add_action( ‘wp_print_scripts’, ‘my_deregister_javascript’, 100 );

function my_deregister_javascript() {
wp_deregister_script( ‘jquery’ );
}

It seems to do the trick, however it destroys most of the functionality of the admin menu. The person said to put it in the function.php file. Is there some middle ground? I tried pasting it at the bottom of the footer.php or even right after the code in the header.php, but neither worked.

I recently paid for this theme, so I would hate to have to scrap it, especially since I just reworked mus tof the buddypress pages by hand to get it working nice with my current theme. Any help is appreciated.
