As I recall it's just a matter of uncommenting the relevant line in your php.ini
You may also have to put the gd.dll in the system folder too if it isn't already there on a Windows server.
Telli will no doubt clarify this when he sees it.

If you have shell access install ImageMagick its much better for proccessing images.

# Login to your server through SSH as root.
# Type: mkdir /home/src
# Type: cd /home/src
# Type: wget [ Register or login to view links on this board. ]
# Type: tar xvzf ImageMagick-5.5.7-17.tar.gz
# Type: cd ImageMagick-5.5.7
# Type: ./configure
# Type: make
# Type: make install
# Type: cd PerlMagick
# Type: perl Makefile.PL
# Type: make
# Type: make install


As far as enabling GD download this anaylyzer below and upload to your root directory it will tell you if it installed. Or you can make a file and place this in it:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>


Call it info an upload it it will also tell you if GD is installed. If it isnt then you need to edit the php.ini file find the line pertaining to gd libraries and make sure it is enabled. Your host might have to do it though. On a side note gd is bundled in most server software so it is probably there.
