Hi All,
This is my first post and I am having some problems with Elements 6. I have been using it successfully since December. I usually use organiser to get photos from the camera, download onto hard drive and upload into the organiser. I then tag thumnails and open editor to edit the pics. I use RAW files. Whilst on holiday I downloaded some images in the usual way and then suddenly thumbnails stopped appearing for new image downloads. The pics downloaded onto hard drive and are in the organiser but I just get the hourglass icon in each square where a thumbnail version of the pic should be. Can anybody help? The old images still have thumbnails, no problem.
Thank you in advance.
Shirley

Pay particular attention to the workaround if you have a multiprocessor

Thank you.Problem solved. I deleted Thumbs in catalogue and then updated thumbnails. It took about 12 hours but was successful
Thanks for your help.

Twelve hours is a long time! To help others understand this issue, can you say about how many JPEG and RAW files you have? And are the photos on a locally attached hard drive or on a network drive? Thanks.
