all the errors are gone, and all the modules i couldn't see b4 are now showing. to be honest, i think it was because i installed jjd tools.

anyway, i clicked to install tad gallery and although i received the message that it installed successfully i received a second error that the module file for tad gallery is not found.

what the heck?

starting over...for the third time.

truthfully, funy was my choice but it's all french and i really cant figure out how to work it.

it has installed. if anyone has any caveats regarding use i would appreciate hearing them...

mamba, thank u so much for all your help. much appreciated.

i really REALLY believe that jjd tools had a lot to do with it. my module admin page was also not working properly until i installed that jjd tools. just a thought.
