Cathy I relinked through the Media Relinker Tool - it advised me there are three media files missing which I can deal with later but the files I have opened are not the ones with the missing media - it also happens on some of the Media Gallery when I try to slide the bar across to make the pictures larger or smaller. After I did a file maintenance I did another Media Relinker just in case it had not worked properly the first time but the same three files came up with missing media and the same problem occurred when trying to open the Media Gallery.
Cannot think of anything else as everything points to the E drive and all the media is in this drive and has been there for years. If no one else has had this problem may have to ask Support.
