HELP! Just got iPhoto 6 w/ my Tiger upgrade, and pictures won't show up

Last week, my 1 1/2 year old Powerbook G4 was having issues that eventually led to me having to replace the hard drive. The new hard drive came with the Tiger OS (was previously on Panther) and the new iLife suite, including iPhoto 6. All of my photos, music, and documents were able to be transferred to the new hard drive.
When I go to open up iPhoto, all of the thumbnails show up and my albums are intact, as well. However, when I double click to open one of the pictures, I get a blank screen with a spinning progress indicator that never goes away. I can open the photos with the "Preview" app, but I want my iPhoto to work!
Any suggestions...?

Jackie:
That will happen if, for some reason, you have "no access" in the permissions. Run the following on your iPhoto Library folder:
Setting Permissions for iPhoto Library Folder
Select the iPhoto Library folder and type Command-I.
When the Info window comes up go to the Ownership and Permissions section and make sure You have Read & Write permission and that the Owner and Group have Read & Write also. Others - Read Only.
Then click on the "Apply to enclosed items..." button.
See if that will help the situation.
