 * I have installed Word Press, fresh install, latest version and installed the 
   latest version of the NextGen plug in, and the Error 500 – Internal Server error
   occurred.
 * The plug in requires php 5 or greater.
 * I created a .htaccess files as suggested by my web host and the error has stopped.
