Error When Installing Modules

Got a weird glitch that I'd like figured out. In every case when I install a module -- it fails to install in admin panel. I've had free and paid modules and in every case (after I properly upload to module folder via FTP) when I go to the uninstalled modules -- click the checkbox -- and click install button it gives the failed error msg.

The important part of the fail msg up top reads:

-- -- There are errors in the following MySQL queries:

-- -- Error: Column 'id' cannot be null

Of course, when I've contacting the creators or the mods and give them admin/ftp access they've got things to install. My question is why are they able to install the mods and I cannot. It isn't a difficult installation process and I'm fairly adept in the process.

Any thoughts or insight would be appreciated.

Hello what module do you try to install ?

Most recently it was the three modules from ibellodelweb but the same issue occured with the RPX login from sneha, deanos tools, and several others. Again, when I had these developers go in they were able to get it to work. Actually ibellodelweb just emailed me saying it was perhaps a modification to sys_menu_admin and is going to install his for me.

Still, sneha and a couple others were able to install theirs with just ftp access and admin panel access. If it were a db issue wouldn't they have also needed phpmyadmin access???

Again, any insight or thoughts would be appreciated as I would prefer to be able to install my own modules and not be giving full site access to everyone.

Thanks!!!
