When I try to open a picture it does open but closes very quickly and the screen displays a black border with a white circle and a ! in the middle????? Help!!! GM

WHEN I OPEN A PICTURE FROM IPHOTO IT CLOSES VERY QUICKLY AND A BLACK BORDER WITH A WHITE CIRCLE WITH AN ! IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. WHEN IT START A SLICE SHOW THE PICTURES ARE NOT THERE. HELP!!!!

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Other than that, what version of iPhoto do you have? Assuming 09 or later try
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

P.S. Please don't type in block capitals. They are harder to read and on the forum it looks like you're having a tantrum
