I personally spent two agonizing days and nights over the lightbox until I could prove that it was the template with jquery javascripting that was conflicting with the lightbox.....I'm now back to the template people to find a solution.....as they had modified jquery code so much that even the jquery lightbox didn't work.....

Of course there are those who just don't follow the install instructions...for them there is no hope...especially if english is not their first language.....
I totally agree. With some of the paid templates that have altered the jquery code...they charge you to fix it which is silly but that is life.

the jquery lightbox that I found at one of the template suppliers for one of my clients is the only "fix" I found since they wanted $150.00 dollars to fix it on their end...when if they had not mucked with the code to begin with , would not have broken it.

If I were the creator (which have not seen him about in a long time) I would look into it too. Bear in mind too that some addons use the same files as the store and other addons so it is always best to open the addon zip and compare file names with both the store software and other addons you have installed and to merge documents when possible....I usually set a ~ the the end of the file name of one that is getting overwritten, just in case for it is easier to delete the offending file and remve the tilde to get things back than to do other measures.
