Hi guys, Just a few quick questions. Finally figured out how to do the downloads and view them, whew! hope I don't seem like an airhead the whole time I'm trying to learn this stuff. :p Anyways, okay, when I first bought elements, I fooled around with putting all my photos in the organzier and tagging and the whole nine yards. Then I decided to read the "elements for dummies" book, which I didn't learn much from that because I guess I need to see something being done before I can fully underestand just what the heck I've read. But anyways, I just got done taking a lot of photos off my computer and writing them to cds so I wouldn't be bogging down my computer. But now I am seeing, that after all that work of tagging and making up new tag names and such, most of my photos that I want to start messing around with are saying, "searching for missing files" Does that mean that I need to go back to square one and put all these photos back on my computer? And if that is the case, when I import a photo that I want to work on from one of the cds that I have it on, what will be the difference, because it still isn't going to be on my hard drive? Just wondering how that works. Should I start at the beginning and take out all these photos out of organizer and start again...? Woe is me....Darlene:eek:

The files are missing because you deleted them from your hard drive and the Organizer is looking for where they originally were. Put the pictures where they were and it should work.

If you are running out of space on your computer it may be time to start looking into external hard drives.
