G2 creates thumbnails anyway.
all you need is to have an image toolkit installed.
is GD, imagemagick and or netpbm installed and activated in your g2?
please post site admin -> maintenance -> system information.
and maybe reword your question if i misunderstood you.

Gallery version = 2.0 core 1.0.0
PHP version = 5.0.4 cgi-fcgi
Webserver = Microsoft-IIS/6.0
Database = mysql 4.1.12a-nt
Toolkits = Exif
Operating system = Windows NT HELLMAKER1 5.2 build 3790
Browser = Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; en) Opera 8.02

yep, you have none of the image toolkits installed.
G2 can't create thumbnails if you haven't installed and activated at least one of the following modules:
- imagemagick
- netpbm
- GD

when i enter trying to edit the photo they say this under thumbnail
Thumbnail
Set the size of the thumbnail. The largest side of the thumbnail will be no larger than this value. Leave this field blank if you don't want a thumbnail.
There are no graphics toolkits enabled that support this type of item, so we cannot create or modify a thumbnail. site admin

All are not working and when i configure some i donno how !!

without one of those modules activate, it won't work.
if you can't activate GD, then your php doesn't support that module.
for netpbm, please read:

- you need to install and activate one of the 3 mentioned modules.
- the typical package includes the 3 modules. but these 3 modules are special. they only can be activated, if your webserver is ready for them. each of the 3 modules has another requirement.
- we both know that none of the 3 modules are currently active in your G2
- use "site admin" -> "modules" to install and activate modules
- if you can't activate GD, it's just like that. try your luck with netpbm or imagemagick
- for instructions for the netpbm path, see the link i posted in my last message

when i enter models then configure NetPBM Settings

where did you unzip the netpbm binaries? enter the path to this directory.
leave the jhead input field empty, since you don't have it. that's not important.

didn't work they say can't excute on server some files ...
if i downloaded the full version of gallery 2 ...and then uploaded it .. will the thumbnail modules be installed with it automatically and other modules or i must install them lik typical version ?

if you can't execute the binaries (exec / system disabled), then it doesn't work. period.
your webserver doesn't have a recent GD version, so GD won't work.
your webserver doesn't allow executing binaries, so netpbm and imageamgick won't work.
conclusion:
you can't use G2 to automatically generate thumbnails. other php based photo album software tools won't work either.
unless...
is it your webserver? can you change the configuration? then just change the configuration and everything will work. or ask your admin.
