 * I have several slideshows on my site, they stopped working and there was an error
   message about portfolio slideshow not having a ‘header’. i downloaded another
   slideshow plugin to make a new slideshow. now there no longer appears to be a
   plugin for portfolio slideshow and all that material seems to be lost! these 
   posts need to be reliably archived. what happened.

 * Hard to say without a bit more info – link to your site? theme? what plugins??
   Any other things that you’ve changed related to this?

 * You could try either one – but generally, you can’t switch plugins and have it
   automatically switch over. I’d suggest you back-up your site first. Also try 
   deactivating all plugins before you try reinstalling the one that gave you trouble
   before – sometimes that fixes odd things.
