Iphoto not working?

I have only had the new 13 inch macbook pro for 36 Hrs. The first 24 were basically spent migrating from my old powerbook and letting all the new software upadate, etc..

So the only glitch that I am having is with Iphoto. I can open the application just fine and see that all of my albums are there, but within 20 seconds of opening the app it quits followed by the message " The application IPhoto quit unexpectedly". It does this over and over again each time I tell it to relaunch.

Any ideas?

Thanks

MBP 13'', Mac OS X (10.5.7)

Give this basic remedy a try. Quit iPhoto and delete your iPhoto preferences. To do this, go to your username> library> preferences> com.apple.iphoto.plist. Delete this file. Then reopen iPhoto; it will create a new preference file with all of the default settings.

You can also do a verify and repair of permissions using Disk Utility.

I hope this helps.
