GD has nothing to do with imagemagick. Check the related thread here on enabling GD on your box..

thanx man, but i'm running the site on a virtual host, so i don't really have the php.ini file when i look at my filemanager. is there another way to do it within drupal files itself? if not, can u explain to me in layman terms how to do this?-lissa-

Try loading the phpinfo file (as in the other link) and see what modules are installed. If you don't see GD there, ask your host to activate it. All hosts usually have it enabled, so there should be no reason to not have it enabled.

If need be, upload the phpinfo file and link to it here. You can delete it later..

Keep us posted :)

GD is software that needs to be installed on the server, and then PHP (the software that Drupal is written in) has to be compiled with GD support. None of this is stuff you can do yourself when you're on a commercial host. I suggest write the techies at your host an email and ask "Is GD available? If not, can you install it?"
