Bought a new iMac and iPhoto does not launch. Where do I go to reinstall since system discs are no longer supplied?

You could try repairing it first. Launch iPhoto holding down the Command+Option (alt) keys, tick the check boxes (when I've had problems I've ticked everything) and click on rebuild.
I can't even get it to do that. I haven't loaded any photos.....I'm trying to launch it right out of the box.
Yikes. Even though you've not installed any photos does nothing happen when you try what I suggested above?
Are you trying to launch from the dock or from iPhoto in the Applications folder?
Both. If I click on the dock or the app it gives me this message:
"You can't open the application iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete".
Have a look at these links, they should enable you to get iPhoto re-installed:
