Need PHP Help - WordPress (Simple Task)

Hello,

My WordPress blog's homepage has special system. It shows recent posts on homepage. But when 'WP-Ratings' plugin is enabled it replaces Recent Posts with Popular posts and shows top rated articles.

Now I want to turn off this feature. I want to show recent articles always and popular articles when plugin is enabled. It should replace recent post plugin.

Here is the code - Please take a look -

    <div id="content">
      <h1><?php if (function_exists('get_highest_rated')) { echo 'Popular Articles'; } else { echo 'Recent Articles'; } ?></h1>
        <div class="post_wrap home">
        <?php 
		if (function_exists('get_highest_rated')) { 
			get_highest_rated('post', 0, 5);
		} else if (have_posts()) { while (have_posts()) { the_post(); ?>
        <div <?php if ( function_exists('post_class') ) { echo post_class(); } else { echo 'class="post"'; } ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
        <div <?php if ($counter == 1) {
		  echo 'class="first"';
		  } elseif ($counter == 2) {
		  echo 'class="second"'; } ?>>
          <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
            <?php the_title(); ?>
            </a></h2>
          <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
          <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">Read Article ›</a>
          </div>
        </div>
        <?php $counter++; ?>
        <?php } ?>
        
        <?php } else { ?>
        <h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
        <p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
        <?php } ?>
      </div>

    <div id="content">

        <div class="post_wrap home">
        <?php 
		if (function_exists('get_highest_rated')) { 
			get_highest_rated('post', 0, 5);

         ?>
         <?php if (have_posts()) { while (have_posts()) { the_post(); ?>

        <div <?php if ($counter == 1) {

          <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
