I had the same problem - on a brand new iMac that I paid the Apple Store to set up and install software on. They did this twice, but I still got the same error message on iPhoto. Then after spending AN HOUR on the phone with apple support was told to Trash IPhoto from the library (not searhable because it's on the hard drive) and thin using the original Applilcations disc, find and install iPhoto again.

oh joy

what fun

Restoring iPhoto 9 (11) Themes

First look in your HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If there is one there move it to the Trash. Also look in your Home/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If there is one move it to the Trash. Reinstall iPhoto as described below:

1 - delete the current application.

2 - delete any files with iPhoto in the file name that reside in your HD/Library/Receipts folder.

3 - mount the disk that iPhoto 11 came on, either an iLife 11 disc or the system disk that came with your computer and do a custom install selecting only iPhoto.

If iPhoto 11 came with the computer then double click on the "Install Bundled Software Only" file and do a custom install.

Apply all of the latest iPhoto 9 (11) updates followed by a repair of disk permissions with Disk Utility. Also make sure you're running the latest Quicktime version.
