Placed the control on an empty non master page with no ajax and I still get the same problem.

 

Here is how i set up the control:

 

<cc1:Gallery ID="Gallery1" runat="server" LayoutRenderMode="SimpleGrid" FolderPath="~/Album1" Width="600" Column="8" MaxImageWidth="1024" BackColor="#ffffff" CellPadding="5" CellSpacing="5" ForeColor="#000000" BorderColor="#cc0000" BorderStyle="solid" BorderWidth="0" ShowThumbNailName="true" ShowThumbNailSize="false" ShowThumbNailDate="false" ShowThumbNailDescription="false" ShowBacktoImageIndex="false" ShowBatchBuild="false" ShowEditDescription="false" ShowHome="false" ShowFullScreen="false" />
