Hello; Thanks for your help!
I have checked the MySQL database username ‘DB_USER’, ‘[myusername]’ specified in wp-config and it has ALL PRIVILIGES for the database. And, the tables [datbasename]_ngg_album, [blogname]_ngg_gallery, [datbasename]_ngg_pictures ARE being created where [datbasename]_ is the database name (see screenshot below). These tables are also dropped when I uninstall the plugin. The DB_HOST is specified as ‘localhost’ which appears to run successfully for WP and all other plugins I have tried.
Here is a screenshot of the two messages:

And, here is a screen shot confirming permissions and the databases:
