Hi,
Do you have a Class entered in the "CSS Class For Slide Container div" setting? Because if you do have a Class there and do not have an element that wraps your slides with that class in the HTML then it won't slide. Make sure that you have that setting cleared if you're not planning on doing any advanced markup for the slider. That's about all I can think of that might be the issue outside of a JavaScript problem.
I'll jot down the basic setting you need just in case something there might be the issue.
Slide Show Settings:
Enable Slideshow of Elements? Checked (Enables Slider)
Slide Container Height (0 = auto) "0"
Slide Transition Effects "fade" (Other effects are "curtainX,turnUp,slideY,zoom,scrollRight")
CSS Class For Slide Container div (leave blank)
Randomize slide sequence? Un-checked (Check to Randomize the slider sequence)
Use extra clear type corrections in slides? Checked (Smooths things out, should generally be left checked)
Pause Slideshow on Hover? Un-checked (Check to pause slider when you hover over it)
Slide Duration In Milliseconds "3000"
Slide Transition Speed "1000" (In Milliseconds)
Enable Slideshow Pager? Un-checked (Check for numbered navigation, will render below slider)
Place Pager above Slideshow? Un-checked (Check to place Navigation above slider)
Once you've reset these settings and it still doesn't work, I would be looking for a JavaScript issue.
As for the file browsing, I'm not entirely sure if I know what you are asking. If you could take a screenshot and link to it I could take a look at it.
I hope this helps get you going in the right direction, if not I'm sorry.
Have a good day,
-Elijah
