wanabee50,

Thanks for the updates.

If you have not already done so, go to System Preferences > Software Update to make sure your version of iPhoto is current.

You might also take a look at this link to: iPhoto '09 (#2): Problems with faces, places.

If I am understanding correctly, you have already tried option 2 in the link above by reimporting the library. Therefore, you might try option 3: Remove the Faces database.

Back up everything you can't afford to lose: documents, mail, movies, music, photos, and other data and settings.
