    Are your pictures still showing in My Pictures? It may be a simple as you need Picasa to re-create your photo database

    Are some of your photos located in an external hard drive?
    If a drive isnt properly mapped, Picasa cant find them?

    Either your pictures have been corrupted/deleted from harddrive or picasa isnt finding them.
    Can you access/view the photos outside of picasa (through 'my computer')

    have a good look through the all the folders in the C:\users directory.
    Win 7 can often get confused if public folders are linked to personal folders
