You have to import them into the organiser on PSE 7, or alternatively open them as new files within the editor. I suggest you look for the book called Photoshop Elements 7 the Missing Manual, and/or the
Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 Book for Digital Photographers (Voices That Matter) by Scott Kelby and Matt Kloskowski, both good guides. I have them for PSE 6 and the complement each other quite well, but either one will get you started. A lot will depend on whether you like Scott Kelby's style or not. Amazon has them both plus a load of others.
Also have a look at photoshopelementsuser.com.
'The Missing Manual' is by Barbara Brundage and as the cover says "The book that should have been in the box".
PSE5 came with quite a good manual but PSE7 has nothing.
Having said that, I think that PSE7 is more user friendly than PSE5.
But that was back in the days when Sony was a market innovator.
Now they have 'lost the plot' in most areas.

I had been wondering about another regular poster who seems to have gone AWOL. Promhandicam was the only other forum member below the Sahara (that I am aware of, at least). His last login was in June.
Perhaps he is now in a particularly remote part of Africa.
My brother in law, who is based in Addis, but travels to Sudan etc. only manages very sporadic e-mails to us.

Come to think of it, Tim (Ammonyte) hasn't been around for a while either.

I now just have to reload all my software
I am planning to use Firefox 3 and Thunderbird 2 from now on and buy some new security software.
My other early New Year's resolution is to keep sensitive information only on a laptop that never leaves the house and has never been connected to the internet.
So if someone does manage to hack into my main computer, they will only find some photographs etc.
Many thanks to randall85 and his dad.

Quite a lot to think about.
The computer is away at the moment having its hard drive wiped clean and XP reloaded.
Here is an item from the BBC website today - pretty alarming :-
