    The same problem here.

    The slideshow does not show anything in WP 2.9.1

    Not sure if this helps, but I found I had to manually put the whole path in the field, including the http:// at the beginning, and imagerotator.swf at the end.

    The error message appears while displaying the "General options:Gallery path" tab, so its easy to think this is where it need attention, but it's actually on the "Slideshow Tab:Path to the Imagerotator.

    WP2.9.1 >Gallery>Option>SLIDESHOW(not general options)>Path to the Imagerotator"search now"

    I am using WP 2.9.1 and when I placed the swf file in the recommended place, I was asked for a password when it ran. Presumably this was because there are .htaccess and .htpasswd files in that folder.

    I placed the swf file in /wp-content/imagerotator.swf and explicitly entered the path in the 'Path to the Imagerotator (URL):' field on the options page instead of pressing 'Search Now' (which failed to find the file). Slideshow works fine for me.

    I am also using 2.9.1 and I was able to get the slide show feature working by putting in the full path to the Imagerotator URL. I just clicked on the search button in the same Options window and it put in the correct path.
