   When I go to Gallery > Add Gallery / Images I get the following error in IE. I also get a 'missing image' icon over the browse button.

   Webpage error details

   And when I try to browser for images, I get this additional error:

   I have a client with the same problem.

   It seems to be something to do with flash as when it's disabled there's no problem.

   Did you find an answer in the end?

   No, unfortunately this problem is so widespread, but Alex hasn't come up with an answer. I've moved to the paying solution Flash Gallery (http://flash-gallery.com/). Although NextGen has far better picture management, Flash Gallery has flawless thumbnail creation.
   I do hope Alex Rabe comes up with a solution, then I'll switch right back to NextGen, but now with WP 3.0.5. NextGen even generates a 500 error as soon as it's activated :(

   That's strange. I can't recreate the problem here.

   For now I'll advise then to turn off the flash upload as the rest of it seems to work still.

   Ok, I've done some digging today for a solution...

   It's not perfect but if you're using a capable browser you can amend this file and it seems to work:

   /admin/addgallery.php

   Line 371 - Change:
   <td><span id='spanButtonPlaceholder'></span><input type="file" name="imagefiles[]" id="imagefiles" size="35" class="imagefiles"/></td>

   To (add 'multiple' to the element')

   <td><span id='spanButtonPlaceholder'></span><input type="file" name="imagefiles[]" id="imagefiles" size="35" class="imagefiles" multiple /></td>

   More info here: http://dev.w3.org/html5/markup/input.file.html

   Now the user can select multiple files for upload. They will only see one file to upload on the main screen in the admin section but it will upload multiple files at once.

   As I said, not perfect but it helped a client out today.

   Cheers,

   James
