Hi. Firstly I am rubbish at this stuff. I am trying to install Gallery2 in my site which is hosted by 123. Site is at www.beermattonline.com/drupal/ I have uploaded the folder which I got by unzipping my download. The folder is sitting in drupal/modules/gallery/ as per instructions. In drupal in administer>site configuration>gallery settings I get (see below, sorry it is so big). No matter what I put in the boxes I can't seem to get it to work. How hard can it be? Any help in words that a 3-year-old could understand would be extremely well received.
Many thanks, Matt.

You need to tell the Drupal module where you have put your existing Gallery2. You have one running, right?
Drupal modules are not to installed into /drupal/modules then this is reservered to Drupal core modules, but into /drupal/sites/all/modules

There is two things that need to work before you install the Gallery integration module. It is Gallery2 v. 2.3.x (3.x is not supported) http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Download and Drupal. To install Gallery2 just follow the install instructions then they are quite good http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Quick_Start_Guide

Hi Matt,

consider the gallery.menalto.com gallery2 software, which can be bridged with Drupal using the gallery.module. IMO this is the most feature rich photo software in the Open Source Area.

the gallery bridge fits in nicely and if you link you can PM and ill show you my demo I've tested with on ur demo site. The project page may also have a demo of this. The gallery.menalto.com website is actually a demo of this bridging as well. They use drupal as their CMS.
