Can never get autocomplete to work [#1983870]

I've tried this modules several times over the past few years, and I've never got the autocomplete to work. The other options are fine. I have tried various settings, servers, Drupal setups etc. without success. I would really like to use this, as File Attach duplicates files where all I need to do is reference an existing set of files.

I have set the directory permissions at 777, there is no htaccess file (although I would really rather not minimise security). I've numbered the files so that there is no case issues or spaces. I've switched to Garland theme in case it was a input box height restriction.

When I create a node with one of these references, the little circle turns a few times and nothing appears.

Does this need a jquery library, or something special to work?

The autocomplete only references other files that have been uploaded into the same field, so that's probably where you're running into trouble. It won't let you reference files that have been uploaded into other fields or files that were uploaded in some alternative way (like IMCE or FTP).
