FWIW, what you originally described:
"the photos in it briefly flashed and then disappeared and then I got
message, no folders found"
is what typically happens when photo directories are deleted _between_
Picasa sessions. Picasa maintains thumbnails of the photos it has
previously scanned. When you open Picasa, it defaults to showing you
the thumbnails it knows about. In the background, it checks for new/
updated/deleted directories. When it sees a directory of files it
previously scanned is no longer there, Picasa quickly removes those
thumbnails from the display ("briefly flashed" as you described).
Assuming that Picasa even could automatically delete files, it's very
unlikely that Picasa launched, re-scanned folders, deleted everything
in one or more of those folder, then updated its thumbnail cache in
anything like "briefly". It's even less likely to have happened
quickly on a network drive.
I'm sorry this happened, and I wish there was a good solution, or at
least a more definite explanation, but based on what you've said, and
the experience of many other Picasa users, it seems most likely that
the directories were deleted before Picasa was even started.
