Scratch that, after a late night of researching i found out i was missing my plugin API hooks
added <?php wp_footer(); ?> & <?php wp_head(); ?> to their respective area’s and it works sweet now
Seems that any sort of slider plugin wont work on the theme im currently creating, but will work fine on the standard twentyeleven twentytwelve themes.
Is there some sort of “include” im missing?
i have pretty much branched off this basic theme example

Thanks for the info
I found one i think will be suitable called Flexible Slider (plugin)
Its cool, seems to work with all browsers and even allows arrow key and mouse drag navigation, and its free!
Only problem i have with it is trying to implement it into my template
i cant find any php code to implement it so i tried to just echo the shortcode but it kind of bugged out spitting all the slides everywhere etc.
