Joomla 1.5 and PHP 5.3

Question

I have one website which is using Joomla 1.5 and running in php 5.3 . It was running with PHP 5.2 version, but the hosting company now updated to PHP 5.3 .So Joomla is creating issues with it:

I cannot access the menus and modules from admin side.

I have tried for a migration to Joomla 2.5 But as the site is installed with a number of third party extensions, it is not easy to migrate. So is there any patched or something that will help me to run Joomla 1.5 on PHP 5.3 and do migration on a later date?

Joomla 1.5 and PHP 5.3 should be fine. What do you mean by "cannot access the menus and modules"? Any error messages? Do you have error reporting on? — danronmoon

Update Joomla to 1.5.26, versions of Joomla older than 1.5.16 are not compatible with PHP 5.3+
