just chose ImageMagick in the gallery settings and enter exact path to CONVERT (CONVERT.EXE if u use windows) ex:
/home/blahblahblah/Your_ImageMagick_path/convert  - UNIX
X:/Your_ImageMagick_path/convert.exe  - WINDOWS

make sure its clear: ImageMagick must be isntalled on your host machine, not yours, unless your machine is the host.
I see from your other post http://4homepages.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3621
that your host doesnt run windows.

Indeed, that's the problem and they won't install it unless I upgrade my account.

So the only option is to make the thumbs by myself  (with the same name as the original files) and FTP them to the thumbnails folder? Too bad... :(

c:\program\ ?
or
c:\program files\ ?
if second, then I had ones same problem, and that was because of space in the folder's name...
if u posted correct path and running IIS4+ on windows 2000 server, then u are second person trying solve this issue  :?

By befault ImageMagic installed in C:\Program Files\ImageMagic 5.5 (or something like that), long pathname could be a problem...

The simple solution is just to copy convert.exe to the folder, which is for sure accesible by you httpd, for example c:\php\

Btw, GD2 is not that bad, as you're saying... It's at least twice faster, than ImageMagic. Try http://www.coupin.net/gd-freetype/php_gd2.zip and don't forget to set define('CONVERT_IS_GD2', 1); in constants.php

ok, now I'm having exact same problem...but only on Apache2 8O
I have installed second server with apache2 just to try it out, and it seems works well, exept few strange things:
imagemagick doesnt work, and no error logs are logging for that.
and another thing, I have language sellector instaled:
http://4homepages.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3351
and the script add a picture for each installed language.
on Apache v1.3 it shows language selector sorted by name assending
on Apache v2 it sorts by name decsending.
unless I missconfigure it somwhere... :?

hmm...not sure what's wrong, but the "problem Apache v2 it sorts by name decsending. " is because I checked it on FAT32 ??? on NTFS everything ok.
but ImageMagick still doesnt work on Apache2...
