Can't get Lightbox to work with customized Matrix, Gallery 2

I'm trying to make my embedded gallery page work with lightbox. I'm following this tutorial but am hitting 2 problems.

1. When I add the stylesheet and js lines (point 8 on the tutorial) it totally screws my final page (big black square over top half of screen and a permanent empty lightbox box at the bottom). It's like the lightbox stylesheet and my own stylesheet are clashing. I tried including the lightbox stylesheet contents at the bottom of my own stylesheet but the same thing happened. I'm really in the dark on what I'm doing here. You can see the mess I've made here (it should be a 3x3 thumb grid!)

2. Even with the above page-wrecking lightbox stylesheet in place, the actual functionality isn't working. When you click thumbnails it still loads the gallery HTML page of that image, not the lightbox version.

In the tutorial (point 10 and 11) the 2 lines of code it advises to replace seems a little out of date:

<a href="{g->url arg1="view=core.ShowItem" arg2="itemId=`$child.id`"}">

the code in my Matrix theme is:

{capture assign=linkUrl}{g->url arg1="view=core.ShowItem"
arg2="itemId=`$child.id`"}{/capture}

I changed it to:
{capture assign=linkUrl}{g->url arg1="view=core.DownloadItem" arg2="itemId=`$child.id`"}" rel="Lightbox[gallery]"}{/capture}

and for the second link:

{g->url arg1="view=core.DownloadItem" arg2="itemId=`$child.id`"}" rel="Lightbox[gallery]"}

But it didn't work. I've no idea if the syntax is right, I was just using my best guess.

Any help on this would be muchly appreciated.

Perhaps the tutorial was not written for your version:

Either way you should upgrade as there is security and other bug fixes sine then.

Yes

That will work but might take some time. Don't forget the g2data folder and all the hidden files ( they start with a dot ).

Yes if you have some utility to zip up the data it will go faster.

If your DB on the old install was using a theme then the new location needs it as well.
