Try re-installing 1.9.12 over itself. Don’t uninstall.
You can find older versions here :

Good luck.
finally found a solution. it’s a permission error caused by the windows server when using the method move_uploaded_file. the problem also exists when I use the standard wordpress image upload.
simply exchange the method by using the method copy.
for example:
wp-admin/include/file.php
//if ( false === @ move_uploaded_file( $file[‘tmp_name’], $new_file ) )
if ( false === @ copy( $file[‘tmp_name’], $new_file ) )
do the same in the nextgen plugin and everything will work fine. the bad thing is that you have to replace it everytime you update wordpress or the plugin

Sorry but that code breaks the admin backend. Doesn’t work.
really? for me it works! the following code is now in my file.php
// Move the file to the uploads dir
$new_file = $uploads[‘path’] . “/$filename”;
//if ( false === @ move_uploaded_file( $file[‘tmp_name’], $new_file ) )
if ( false === @ copy( $file[‘tmp_name’], $new_file ) )
return $upload_error_handler( $file, sprintf( __(‘The uploaded file could not be moved to %s.’ ), $uploads[‘path’] ) );

I re-tried using your entire if statement and commenting out the original.
Now the back end doesn’t break, but files don’t get uploaded either.
@zaidy89 – Thank you for providing that solution. Does that solution still work in v3.6 of WordPress? I see that you’re specifically running NextGEN v1.9.12, any reason why you’re not running v1.9.13 or v2.0.11?
@doublesixx – What permalinks are you using? Most upload issues we have found are resolved by resetting permalinks (i.e. reset to ‘Post Name’ under Settings >> Permalinks). Also, which version of WordPress & NextGEN are you running?

@doublesixx that’s the code for the file.php, it’s not the code for the nextgen files. you can find the move_uploaded_file method in the following file for the nextgen gallery
/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/admin/functions.php (2 x)
@photocrati unfortunately it’s not really a good solution 😉 I have some other problems with my webspace and so I can’t update my current wordpress version to 3.6. the service team of my provider is checking the problem. but the main issues is that the site is running on a windows server. I read that v 2.0.x is only provided for 3.6. and in the backend there is no update shown for the version 1.9.13.
when I’m able to update the wordpress to 3.6 (hopefully next week) I can tell you I the problem still exists. however the service guy told me that it’s a windows server and PHP problem with this specific method. therefore I think that a update won’t bring a solution.
@zaidy89
Yes I changed the file.php.
Becky’s solution worked for me, changing the permalinks.
Although at the moment I my header slideshow isn’t working =(.
