You can also try the solution posted on the slideshowpro forums: http://forums.slideshowpro.net/viewtopic.php?pid=26298#p26298

(the above is actually a good way to deal with the issue, instead of blindly disabling mod_security — try and see)

Perhaps your issue is related to the fact that flash player does not support uploads that require authentication?

Have you secured any of the wordpress related folders with a .htaccess file requiring a user/pass combo? If so, that might very well be the reason why swfupload is not working for you.

This is a comment from the latest swfupload.org’s actionscript source (the component used in wordpress):
// Note: Flash Player does not support Uploads that require authentication.
// Attempting this will trigger an IO Error or it will prompt for a username
// and password and may crash the browser (FireFox/Opera)

If it’s not the auth issue, then I’d suggest uninstalling your current flash player, and installing the latest version. That might fix it.

Good luck.
