"Add Selection to Queue" (in Final Cut Express) Problem

Question

I have just uploaded Final Cut Express 4 to my new iMac 2.4. When I try to add selected Clips (Add selection to Queue) to the project window it does not add the clips to the project (it has an exclamation mark next to the clip instead of the check mark). The same thing happened to me couple of years ago when I uploaded the same Final Cut Express to my old laptop. That time an apple genius bar guy changed something in the set up of Final Cut Express. It was only couple of clicks but I do not remember what change he has done to the setup. Could anyone help me please?
Thank you,
Ildiko

Hi,
I downloaded the FCE4 manual
http://www.apple.com/support/finalcutexpress/
and did a search for "exclamation". This was the first hit:
"An exclamation point indicates that the source media
for this clip may have been unmounted or moved
since the clip was added to the Transfer Queue.
Delete the clip and add it to the Transfer Queue again."
So delete the clip +from the Queue+, not from your disk or media,
and add it to the queue again.
Good luck!
