How to import existing photos into PSE-6

I’m using an evaluation copy of Photoshop Elements 6 with the intent of buying it.
Yesterday I bought a book for it because the help files are worthless and Adobe didn’t see fit to include any kind of manual.
The book I bought is also pretty much worthless.

My Problem:
I have about 1000 photos (jpg and tiff) on my hard drive. I’d like these photos to all show up in the organizer function of the program. I’ve found I can do this if I go to each individual folder and select the files by name and import them. To accomplish this, I’ve tried to go to file>>get photos and videos>>>from files and folders. From there I hilight the folder that contains all the sub folders with my photos. The system grinds around a bit and counter indicates files are being imported. When it stops, I get a popup that says "import failed". Exactly what do I have to do to import my photos with this money pit? Picasa does it without skipping a beat and it’s free.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I tried that with the same result. It must be a problem with that particular computer. I’ve installed the demo/trial on my laptop and the organizer works with no problem.
On the one with the problem, I’ve done a system restore to a good point last week and now PSE won’t even install as it says it’s past the 30 day trial. This can’t be as it was just installed last week for the first time.

Are both PCs running the same Windows version?

What firewall, anti-virus application or security suite is installed on each PC?
