1.1.1 Tried to reinstall, wont show window

My wife had been having some intermittent problems with her iP not opening up when she plugged her camera into her ibook. She was told to try reinstalling iP. She has an Ibook with 10.2.8 and the iP info says it's 1.1.1
Well, I did it. I put all of our photos on a few discs, and dropped the iP icon into the trash.
The reinstall discs that came with the Ibook said to use the Install discs if I didn't want to reinstall the whole OS.
I installed the applications from the install (disc 2 I think).
I had also done some playing around in the iphoto files I found in the HD, figuring I should probably trash everything from the old Iphoto files. Although I dragged files into the trash, they also stayed in the HD, so I stopped trying to trash stuff and proceeded with the install.
So at first (after the install) the icon looked like a square with an "A" in the bottom corner. I clicked on it and it turned into the IP icon, bounced up and down a few times and then did nothing.
That;s where I stand now. I have the icon, but no window shows up. I tried connecting the camera to the computer, got an iP window for a few seconds, then IP "unexpectadly quit".
Any Ideas?
(By the way, I tried to run software update, just to see if it needed a newer version to get going, but nothing even showed up for Ip)
Thanks in advance,
Jordan

You almost assuredly corrupted your photo database by fiddling with its contents. Try dragging the iPhoto Library folder from your Pictures folder to the desktop (or to any other convenient location) and launch iPhoto to see if it will create a new library for you.
As far as I know, OS X (10.2.x) included iPhoto 2, so I'm not sure where your iPhoto 1.1.1 installation came from. If you go to Apple's downloads page and look around, you should be able to find the download for iPhoto 2. Install it and go to Software Update to apply the latest point-version update for that installation before you run it.
