[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Internet Explorer display problems

My NextGEN galleries default to slideshows on the portfolio page of the site I’m developing for my client. These show up nicely in Safari, Firefox and Chrome, but in IE 8 it’s kind of hit and miss. Sometimes they show up and start running the slideshows nicely and other times the rotator image just shows and nothing ever loads on the page. Then when I use my link to show the photos in lists, the photos show up distorted. Then switching back to slideshow gives me the never ending loading symbol. Please help.
