Then you have PHP 5.2.6 or earlier which is not supported by Admin Tools. In this case Admin Tools' plugin doesn't offer any protection. It simply refuses to load itself as we know there are incompatibilities with the very buggy old versions of PHP (5.2.0 to 5.2.6).

See, that's why I ask for the mandatory information. If you don't provide it I have to guess :(

OK, PHP 5.3 will work just fine with Admin Tools. Can you please confirm that it's working now that PHP 5.3 is installed?
