[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Thumbnail Creation Error – Please help

Hi, can someone help me too! I just upgraded my WP version to 2.8.4 and also upgraded the NextGen Gallery to version 1.3.6. After the upgrade, the NextGen gallery can’t seem to generate the thumbnails anymore for new pictures that i add. I’ve tried adding the pictures through FTP but the thumbnails still don’t appear. Funny thing is if i click on the thumbnail (which is currently shown as a square box with a red x on it), the full sized image will appear. It’s only the thumbnail that doesn’t seem to work.

Here’s my server settings:

I’ve even tried re-uploading an older version of NGG but it still doesn’t work. Can anyone help me? Thanks!

I have that same error code. I think my problem is that my admin page says I have no GD support. How would I go about adding that?

I’m getting two errors when I upload photos…

“Warning: imagecreatefromjpeg() [function.imagecreatefromjpeg]: gd-jpeg, libjpeg: recoverable error: Corrupt JPEG data: 35 extraneous bytes before marker 0xd6 in /home/global/public_html/wp/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/lib/gd.thumbnail.inc.php on line 183

Any help whatsoever would be most appreciated – I am a complete beginner and would likely need any assistance spelling out!
Many thanks!
