I 'shared' albums onto a dvd- now photos won't appear in iphoto!

I burned several albums onto a dvd- fine. Now the 'shared' albums that I burned will only appear in my iphoto as thumbnails, and will not expand. I just get the '!' or a blank screen.

Wha happened?

MacBookPro, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

I am using version 7.1.5 and the windows that open look nothing like the ones in your reply. When I press option/iphoto, I get the choices of "Quit/Create Library/Choose Library".

You're using iPhoto 08, not 09. Select the Create Library option.

Yes, and...? I can't find any menus that correspond to your direction.

"Open your existing library in the Finder"?

Sorry that I don't get it.

Go to your Pictures folder via the Finder, Control+click on the library and select Show Package Contents in the contextual menu like the screenshot above shows.

Ok, now that took a while, but it worked!

Thank you so much for being patient with me.
