Please give us more information and we can probably help. What exactly are you doing, and what, exactly is happening? What version of the OS are you running? What version of iPhoto? We need much more info before we can help.

Search for com.apple.iPhoto.plist and delete it. Restarting the computer might be needed. If that doesn't work, reinstalling it might do the trick. Download the application Pacifist and insert your restore disc into your computer, Pacifist will aid you in finding and reinstalling iPhoto.

No, simply inserting the restoration disc will not erase your information, when inserting it. Install Pacifist, insert the disc, launch the Pacifist, then find iPhoto and reinstall the app.

Should be the first I think, not sure. Try the second, if not so.
