First of all: breath! It's not all that bad.
Try restarting iPhoto holding down command and option to force a rebuild of the library.

1) Quit iPhoto
2) Hold down command (the key with the Apple logo) and the alt key.
3) Still holding the above click on iPhoto
A window will appear offering you rebuild options.

That's because the actual RETAIL VERSION shouldn't. The copied or modified single iApp files do infact do this to the dock. BETCHA DIDN'T KNOW THAT!!!!

It's the first I heard of it. Hard luck to pirates if it's true...

If you bought it from Apple it should work as expected (and not kill your Dock or mess up your pictures).

If you got the retail disc, it shouldn't be doing this. I'm saying that pirates all over the net are modiying the installation file by only distributing iWeb, or iPhoto, or any of the other apps, ALONE. So you can only install that particular app. And this is a side-effect of that.
If you have the retail disc and this is happening, then something DEFINATELY is going wrong with your installation. I would honestly re-check your installation settings to be sure everything is okay. Repair permissions, etc before and after too.
And as robbie said, use the REBUILD ability if anything else goes wrong.

Did the dock freeze once the installation was complete or during the last stage (Optimizing)? If it was during the last stage it was probably just due to update-prebindings using all the CPU...
no it didnt freeze......it just dissapeared....but it came back this time.....and now iphoto is still messed up......
isnt this version of iphoto supposed to organize the folders better than before? because my folders are weird now....

This version of iPhoto organises the photos differently to previous versions. It means that the first time you run it, it has to rearrange your library. I hope it wasn't the initial rearrangement that messed up your library.
Don't worry about how iPhoto looks after the photos in Finder for the moment. Try robbieduncan's method for rebuilding the library though.

You should have 'Originals' and 'Modified' folders in your iPhoto directory now, which should contain your pictures in year and roll/album folders. The old way was really weird and hard to find your pictures.
