Now I am having an odd problem with DIS 2006 Library. For some reason the
drive letter changed for my external hard drive. I had it set to E but it
changed to H. The library would show the thumbs of all of the photos but
wouldn't allow me to access any of the photos to edit or view in full size.
I gave it a new letter T. I removed the folder on the drive that contained
all of my photos from the library and attempted to re-add them. For some
reason DIS Library still wants to link this to drive letter E, even though I
am selecting T in the list when browsing using the File--Add Pictures and
Videos to the Library function.
I can't figure out how do get it to add this folder at the "new" T drive
location.

================================
I have no idea why your drive letter changed
but the thumbs are in your Library Database....
that's why you see them. You don't see the full
size images because the Library has lost the
path to them.

=================================
It sounds like you mave have some system
issues but I would try to recatalog the files
the same way you did before. Or you could
try the steps I previously offered...
Import / Import from a device...

If that fails...I have no idea what the problem
is. Maybe you need to delete or rename the
database and start over.

Good luck.

I renamed my database in DIS Library. This seems to have done the trick so
far. Thanks.
