I’ve discovered that the great plugin Flickr Mini Gallery conflicts with Lightbox Plus (and probably any other plugins that implement jQuery using the wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); method.
I took a look at the code and have created a hotfix for version 1.0 of Flick Mini Gallery.
Here’s how to fix the issue:

I’m happy to say Lightbox Plus now works with WordPress’ built in gallery. This has been the most requested feature by far. There are few simple requirements however. You you must set Link thumbnails to: Image File or use [gallery link="file" for the gallery options. You must check Use For WP Gallery box under Other Lightbox Plus Settings

I’ve updated Lightbox Plus to version 1.5.5. It has numerous fixes including:
You can get it from wordpress.org or 23systems download [Download not found] directly.
I noticed and had pointed out several issue with the latest release of Lightbox Plus. I am planning on releasing another version today that will hopefully recify the issues.
The upgrade was not removing the old unneccesary files from the plugin – the plugin needs re-initialization at least once upon upgrading. This will now remove old Lightbox Plus files assuming you have the correct permissions on you server to do so. Otherwise you must manually remove the following files and directories:
.../wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plus/images/*.*
.../wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plus/images/
.../wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plus/js/lightbox.js
.../wp-content/plugins/lightbox-plus/css/*.css
This will give you a clean install. You will still want to re-initialize or set and save the settings for Lightbox Plus before proceeding.

I know there have been a lot of questions about issues with Lightbox Plus. I’m currently trying to track down the cause for most of them. I’ll try to answer what I can here and hopefully have some resolution for the other issue soon. I’m working on completing a project that is taking up most of my coding time but as I am going to be using Lightbox Plus in this project I will soon be concentrating effort on improving it and hopefully solving the remaining issues.
A bug was pointed out to me recently that may be causing issues with IE – I’m going to correct that and hopefully that will solve some of the problems people have been having.
Issues with the lightbox tags rel=lightbox not showing up is probably due to the Image Title or Image Caption not being set. Images added prior to LB+ installation may or may not have them. Images added in older versions of WordPress (2.3-) probably won’t have them.
I have just released another version that correct a definite IE error with Lightbox Plus so please let me know if this solves your issue. It may also correct the issue with the Loading and Close image paths as well.
