i am experiencing exactly the same problem. any help available?
forgot to add, running latest edition of nextgen and WP 2.5. thanks.
I am getting the same – have been using the previous version for ages without problems, I then upgraded to the new version and it got stuck on ‘creating thumbnails’ I rolled back to the previous version but it still doesn’t work. Really frustrating!! I am running WP2.5 also.
well, it appears this may be browser related. can anyone confirm? i created a test album using IE7 and it worked. i was using FF3B5 when i ran into my problems with this.
well, it appears that i spoke too quickly. i tried it again with much larger files and it’s hanging up again, this time in IE7.
Please post your server settings and also read this article :

forgive me for being an ignoramus but what settings are you referring to?
got the settings…they’re below. looked at the article. i posted a comment on the article but no response as of yet. any help will be appreciated as i am beginning to find myself in a crunch for time and i think i’m pretty close to otherwise having this completed.

You must :
a) Switch to PHP 5 (See comment section for solutions)
or
b) Contact your web hoster….
switched to PHP 5, added the code to the .htaccess as suggested by Phillip D on the article above.
