Photoshop Elements 4 - Update Folder / New Folder

I am using the 30-day-trial version of Photoshop Elements 4, so a lot
of help does not show up (if it is even there in the full version). I
just started, but have two questions about the browser:

+ I have some folders being "watched", but they never update. I cannot
even update it by right-click or a menu selection. How do I do that?
That is essential to a browser (free Picasa is pretty easy), maybe it's
disabled or something.

+ When I want to create a new folder, the "new folder" is grayed out.

Are these like that because it is the trial version?
