[Plugin: WP-Newsticker] Category selection isn't working

I have installed the Newsticker plugin, which looks great; the only problem that I’m having is that when specified the category, the ticker still continues to show all recent posts. Please advise; also, the Options menu that I have is different from the more detailed menu options that I see in this plugin’s screenshots that were provided.

Thanks for your help.

Jon
