I am running Photoshop Elements 5.1 I am trying to use the clone stamp. I have, aligned and use all layers click on. When I try to define a source point on the photo, I right click on the mouse and brushes box comes up. When I left click to get rid of that box, another box comes up saying "could not complete your request because the area to clone has not been defined (alt-click to define a source point)" I am using windows xp. What is going on?

When you right click, you are getting a context menu for the brushes pallet. Remember you can use any brush to do cloning.
You need to hold the alt key located to the left of your spacebar and click where you want to clone from. Without holding the alt key in and pointing out by clicking a target area to copy from Elements doesn't know what to copy thus the error message.
