Did you do "Plugins>Fetch Python Plugins>Repositories>add 3rd party 
repositories"?  Did it add the "QGIS contributed" repository?
You will also need to have the latest matplotlib package from OSGeo4W.  I'm not 
sure if it is installed with QGIS.

What version of QGIS and Python and matplotlib do you have?  For a time the 
plugin required a recent version of matplotlib which on Windows is only 
available for Python 2.7, but QGIS was still using Python 2.5.  But now that 
QGIS is available on Windows with Python 2.7 and the recent matplotlib, the 
contour plugin works fine.

I don't understand why people say the contour plugin is deprecated - it works 
well and is a lot more convenient than using two GDALtools.  Is it that the 
performance is a lot better with large datasets or something?
