Let me walk you through the proper process. First you need to create a folder where you are going to place all your Media files - such as c:\cftw34\photos. Now you scan or copy all your photos to this folder. Next inside the program go to Option Menu - Database Configuration - Database 1 Tab and click on the Media button. Set this to the folder you created (c:\cftw3\photos). The simply tells the database where you have placed all your images. Now when you edit a person and click on the Media tab, you will see the list of images available on the top. The "Get Media" button should be rarely used (in fact it is confusing to people as you see here). It is used in a case where you now discover that there is a photo somewhere else on your disk and wished it were in c:\cftw3\photos. You click that button, find the file and it simply copies it to c:\cftw3\photos. The hang occurs because the program is confused since the Media folder has not been set (as described in first paragraph) and thus the hang.
