No Payment Methods or Shipping Methods

[southpaw3229]

I just installed VM2 on my joomla 1.7 platform and i cannot set up any payment methods or shipping methods.  I installed the AIO packet also and when i did that, virtue mart started to crash, plus the shipping module link on the left hand side starting to run across the page.  I installed the latest release that came out on Dec 2nd.  I've read many post that others have posted about this subject, but cannot find a fix.

On a side note, will VM2 support offline credit card processing (i live in the US).

thanks
