sean johnson's dashboard

i have the album list and album view plugins, both of which work. Unfortunately the plugin I am most interested in does not. The media flow does nothing. I can get the album cover pictured in the bottom left hand corner, I can get them in the album list and album view plugins, but both the media flow and grid view plugins show nothing. It is simply a blank, black window that pops up. Is there something I need to do that I am unaware of? I am running on Windows XP. Also every time I add a plugin and restart Songbird I have to erase my library and re-add everything after, very frustrating. I love the product and the ingenuity behind it and appreciate any assistance anyone may offer, thank you.
