In Windows 7 there are two versions of Internet Explorer 8, and it depends which version you are using as to whether you can see the slideshow working or whether you get just the gallery pictures.

One version of IE8 is 32 bit and the other is 64 bit. Both work on Windows 7 64 bit operating system. But only the 32 bit version will show the slideshow working.

You should be able to find the 32 bit version on your computer at C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\InternetExplorer\iexplore.exe

The 64 bit version is at C:\ProgramFiles\InternetExplorer\iexplore.exe

The real problem is that although you can change the IE8 version to view the slideshow your web visitors won’t know how to cure the problem. Only Adobe will be able to do that and they have known about the problem since Vista arrived and still have not done anything about it!

Pity there isn’t something better than Adobe Flash that the slideshow can utilise.

This problem has resolved itself since the release of the latest version of Firefox 3.6. The drop down menus are now showing over the showtime slideshow just as they should.

@esmi – I have looked at the two links you have shown which do give a bit more detail, but still they do not explain how to remove an image from a gallery and still keep it in the media library. I think the only option is to permanently remove the image.

I have the image gallery being used by a slide show in the header, and I do like to seasonally change the pictures, but I don’t want to delete them and then reload them every season.

Does you have any other suggestions?

It would be great to have the plugin automatically put the tabs on the edge of the page, and just let the user edit which side to place it, and edit the height from the top of the page.

The user would also be saved from having to place the code in the right place in a file. I still haven’t managed to find the right file to put the code in to get the tabs just where I want them. The theme I am using has a large number of files and at the moment I have had to settle with putting them at the top of the sidebar.

You are correct. After seeing your post I decided to try it directly on the website and it worked fine, however for some inexplicable reason it will not work offline under the localhost.
As far as I am concerned this has been resolved because I really only needed it to work on the website and I can put up with it not working offline.

I don’t think this will work on localhost because it relies upon a live connection to Google Translator to work.
On localhost you will be able to see the flags and style it to your preferences but I think that’s all.
