sounds weird, it works fine om my machine - but try running 'f-spot' from terminal and see if it gives some hint as to why it doesn't start, and then post it here.

Please one of you who have this problem, try to start a terminal (from the menu Appilcations -> Accessories -> Terminal) and then type in the commans 'f-spot' without the ' followed by pressing enter.

the solution is to move the executable file to a different directory and run it... that works.
