I have PE 3 and 5 and also found 5 Organiser to be difficult to use. To adjust the size of thumbnails you adjust the slider at the bottom and towards the right of the Organiser.

You may well find that the Downloader will only work for JPEG files but my experience is that it cannot download RAW files from a Camera.

I also found that the Organser likes to see everything under My Pictures and can lose track of pictures if you move them without using the Organiser.

I should add that I am not a regular user of Elements; I only use it for demos and teaching techniques as I use PS CS3 for my own work.

Once you get use to it, Elements 5 does have some good additional features such as curves and convert to B&W.
