Organizer to Photo Editor disconnect

After using Elements successfully for years, it has started getting weird. First, the Organizer doesn't recognize my camera easily and I have to keep restating the program. Second, after photos have successfully been loaded into the Organizer, they don't show up in the Photo Editor anymore! I can get around the problem by selecting the edit option on the photo in the Organizer , but it takes much longer.

After all these years of success! Why has something changed?
