Photoshop Lightroom 3.2 (too) many folders

Hello,
For some time I have an issue on lightroom 3.
I have a network volume subfolder wich contains 60000 (75GB) photo's in 5000 folders.
If I import the "bunch" of pictures, it seems to work but I cannot see al te folders. The structure is : 1 folder containing almost all the subfolders one level lower, thus no many directory levels but many folders "aside" each other.
If i trie ro reimport one subfolder (from the ones I cannot see) lightroom marks me that the folders are already imported. I already tried to start with a fresh catalog, but this gives no relief.
Also my lightroom sometimes crashes, I always send an error report.
My system is Win XP SP3.
Please help me, I find if I buy such a high level program that it his to do the job ...
Olivier

Just few thoughts that came to my mind.
Lightroom had (still has?) a "feature" in windows version that it couldn't show keyword lists which had more than 1300+(?) keywords visible (rest were just truncated. Keywords worked normally but couldn't be seen in a keyword panel), because some insane (windows?) restriction that panels could be only certain amount of pixels long. Only solution was to build keyword hierarcy which didn't show too many keywords at once.
Could same "feature" affect folders view?
Are missing folders at the end of your folder list?

Unable to create virtual folder. Too many folders

Hi,
We are getting this error while trying to create new folder in UCM (even trying directly from UCM throws same error)
oracle.stellent.ridc.protocol.ServiceException: Unable to create virtual folder. Too many folders
Has anyone experienced this? If yes, please let us know how you resolved it.
Thanks!

You don't "store" anything in contribution folders. They are just webdav access points. I recommend zero folders personally.
If you want to upload files using webdav, then I suggest using one staging folder, where files can enter the system. When the document is workflowed and/or verified, it is moved out of the folder. It's more likely however that you'll need a few access points for various types of content as each folder enforces specific metadata.
Now I imagine you are after a way to store all the HR bits and pieces of one person together as a unit. Some people use Content Folios. Personally, I'd just use a metadata field that contains the ContentID of the person's master record. Any new content for that person just gets the master ContentID stamped on it. Just search for that ContentID to get all their stuff.
Regarding best practices, there are lots of quality blogs floating around. Stellent/Oracle don't talk about best practice because each system is used by their clients in a unique way... well, that's what they say.

Photoshop Elements 8: why too many activations? [was:activation]

Recently had new computer and the man that set it up for us loaded on our photoshop elements 8, the old computer was dumped, so is no longer in use. However when I try to use the programme it tells me that I have too many activations on it. I am not aware that this programme is in use on any other computer, please advise

The folks at that link will usually just tell you that PSE 8 is no longer supported. You need activation support, so go here:

Backing up ipod! Too many folders.. easy way to import?

I am backing up over 8500 songs on my iPod.. I am saving them on an external hard drive AND on DVD+R dics just to be sure.
I went into the iPod settings under "My Computer" and made the folder unhidden to get the songs... I do NOT want to use any type of program. This worked fine.
I moved the songs to one folder(all of the songs with names like AEOF, etc...)
PROBLEM: I put the settings in iTunes to "Keep iTunes Media Folder organized" and "copy Files to iTunes media" so I could SAVE the songs with their title.
When I imported 875 songs into iTunes just to TEST it, it gave me 426 items in iTunes, all folders of the songs.. (yes, I have a lot of single songs!)
*If something happens to my iPod, and I want to put these songs on a new ipod, do i need to +CLICK on every folder+ to import the song in it BACK on iTunes.*
This isn't even half my collection and I already have 426 folders. I want to know now if there is an easy way to import songs without clicking on every folder.
Thank you!
Help!

To backup all the folders inside iTunes Music just copy iTunes Music to another location. Everything inside gets copied. To reimport everything you backed up, either import the backup copy of the iTunes Music folder with the iTunes option *Copy to iTunes Music folder when adding to library*, or copy the backup folder in as a sub-folder of the main iTunes Music folder (so you would have ...\iTunes Music\iTunes Music\<Lots of folders>) and then use *Add folder to library* to add in ...\iTunes Music\iTunes Music - iTunes will process all subfolders automatically and reorganise if you have *Keep iTunes Music folder organised* turned on.
If space is at a premium then I'd really recommend that you purchase a small external hard drive and build your complete library onto it - they are really quite cheap these days. As you have discovered, reconstucting a library from an iPod's contents is not a trivial task and, given the chances that at some point you could have your iPod lost, stolen, or the data inaccessible, having the iPod as the principle source of the library is a bad move. Even having backups of the media without having these arranged in an iTunes library makes restoring your iPod a much more complex task than it should be.

Sharing Too Many Folders With XP Pro

So I have file sharing set up in Leopard and the only folder I have selected is a sub-folder to Documents. However, on my XP Pro computer i can see:
\\computer\hard drive
\\computer\my user name
\\computer\Backup #time machine drive
\\computer\school #this is the only folder I want shared
so why are all these other folders/volumes showing up when they aren't selected to be shared?

if anyone has any clue about this please help me out, thanks

Too Many Activations - But I only have it on one computer!

I have Photoshop CS3 installed on my home PC and am currently trying to install it on my new laptop while I am away for two months in the States. However, it says I've used too many licenses already.
I only have the program installed on my PC, so my laptop should make my second device, right?
I've tried going through the Contact Us pages but it sends me in an endless loop which just brings me back here to the forums every time with no option to chat to staff at any stage, no matter what I enter.
I start at the 'Give us more information' page, go via photoshop, installing and activation, too many licenses, etc. I follow it to the 'cannot deactivate' page, which says 'click here to contact us'... and that takes me back to the 'Give us more information' page, over and over.
Please help! I can't get by without Photoshop while I'm away.

Photoshop CS6 error "could not complete ... too many files open. Try closing........." with 3D psd?

Im working in a .psd file with multiple 3D layers. The file size totals at 356mb.
When opening the file, I get this error: "could not complete your request because there are too many files open. Try closing some windows and try again." This doesn't any sense to me, as I was not experiencing any chugging when the file was open, and I am on a relatively fast system.
Win 7 64bit
Intel i7-2760QM @ 2.4GHz (8 CPU)
16 gigs ram
Nvidia GTX 560M (2752mb)

Having the same issue on the Mac!
Worked on a file yesterday, fairly big, but nothing that I haven't handled before... Only difference was the 3DS file I imported has over 270 textures.
I think there is a limit on how many textures can be imported, essentially corrupting the file on save. It would be a lot more helpful to have Photoshop warn us that the 3D model is too complicated before we import it and save our work looking forward to finishing off the next day.
I tried the same model again today, did nothing other than position it and render it, then saved, same error on opeing: "Could not complete your request because there are too many files open. Try closing some windows and try again."
If anyone at Adobe would like to have a look ta the file the smaller version that I did today I can upload somewhere or send a YouSendIt.
Cheers.

Photoshop CS5.1 Extended: Could not complete your request because there are too many Files Open

I saved a file last night and now this morning I get an error message stating: "Photoshop CS5.1 Extended: Could not complete your request because there are too many Files Open. Try closing some windows and try again.". I've rebooted the system and made sure Photoshop was the only program running and that there were no other files open prior to trying to open my file. I increased Photoshops ram usage, checked the OpenGL settings, 3D and VRAM settings, cleared my temp files and am at a loss for opening this file.
System Specs:
Win 7 64
6 core I7 processor
32gb Ram
3GB VRAM
600gb free space on 7200 rpm drive
File specs:
1 3D object replicated maybe 5 times (yes, I should have rasterized them, and will do that to 4 of them if I get the file open)
Maybe 8 textures
Not sure how many total layers.
Is there anyway to get Photoshop to reopen this file?

No, more VRAM is useless. I had the same thought as you so I tried with a friend's computer with 3GB of VRAM for 8GB RAM (mine has 1GB VRAM for 16GB RAM). Still got the same error message. Sorry guys but our files are lost until Adobe fix the error in Photoshop code. I hope in the future they will find a way to either fix this error or give a clear limitation, it is really a shame such a dangerous problem exists and persists for more than 3 photoshop gen.
Still you may be able to have at least a flat image of your latest file by trying to open the file as smart object. I started my work over by doing that. Not a lot but better than nothing.
However for my new file I am trying something different : Each time I think a 3D file is final, I do not rasterize it but make it into a smart object and save the new smart object into a single separated .psd file. If any change is needed I can still edit all of my 3D objects by opening them separately. So far it works, the global file is lighter with few to no 3D objects inside but I will not say it is a 100% no-risk method yet.
Last advice I can give everyone : Before closing the file you are working on, save it as a copy (File / Save as... and check 'As copy' in the options below) then with your main file still open, try to open the copy. You may need a lot of memory if your file is heavy but still if the dreaded error message appears when you try to open the copy then remove or rasterize some 3D objects in your main one. Save again as copy and try to open the copy until you do not get the message anymore.

Sir, My Photoshop Element programme is not running. Because of 'too many activations'.

Sir,
My Photoshop Element Programme has been suspended due to too many activation.
I can only think this is due to Hard Drive failure on my PC.
Initially reformate and re-install on same drive. But this drive Failed too.
I then replaced it with a New Drive and re-installed, but cannot get my programme running due to too many activations.

Photoshop CS5 doesn't work properly after opening too many images

Hi
This is my very first post.
I'm also new to CS5. I do hundreds of photo touching/cropping that is a part of my job for web.
Everything is running fine but when ever I open too many images in Photoshop CS5 it doesn't work, I mean it doesn't hang or freezes it just open all files and then doesn't show any images (just blank) and when I closes 20/30 or more images then it get fine.
I thought it might a RAM problem but i have i3 processor with 4GB of RAM. I have also increased memory usage from 60% to 80% but I'm still facing the same problem.
Would like to tell that in the previous version of CS3 I never got this problem and worked fine.
thanks

Disabling OpenGL entirely is draconian.
You could try, if it's not already set that way, going into the Advanced settings and switching OpenGL to "Basic" mode, which uses fewer resources.

Photoshop CS6 creates too many History States withing 1 stroke

I'm on MAC OSX 10.6.8, Photoshop CS6, using a Wacom Cintiq 12".
Too often Photoshop remembers way too many History states within one pen stroke. In previous versions I don't remember this behaviour. Previously, each stroke, no matter how long, was registered as only one History state, until I raised the pen from the tablet. Now, totally sporadically without any obvious rule, Photoshop decides to remember even 100 history states within only one stroke.
Although this is sometimes useful, if you work on really long strokes, but mostly it's highly disturbing, as after using just one tool to paint only one little circle, I loose all my other, much more important History states.
Can somebody explain to me why???

Noel Carboni wrote:
Done with a mouse I get exactly one "Brush Tool" state in the history and one "Use brush" state recorded in an action.
Could it be that your tablet driver is actually delivering information to Photoshop that makes it think you're lifting the stylus and putting it down many times per stroke?
-Noel
Hmmm... could be, but I don't know how to test it, as it happens occasionally... I don't experience it in other software, but I will keep an eye on that.

Troubleshoot installation problems in Photoshop Lightroom on Windows Vista

This document can help you to resolve system errors that occur while you use Adobe Photoshop Lightroom on Windows Vista. System errors can manifest in many different ways, including (but not limited to) the following:
A blank or flickering dialog box
A frozen cursor or screen
A blue screen
An unexpected restart
An error message such as:
"Setup is unable to load the installation script file."
"Unable to create a directory under C:\Windows\System. Please check write-access to the directory."
"Uninstalling: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network, and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location."
Note: If you attempt to install Photoshop Lightroom to a drive that doesn't have the minimum required space available, the installation will fail. You must then completely reinstall to another location that has sufficient free space.
Many different factors can cause system errors, including conflicts among device drivers, applications, operating system settings, hardware, and corrupt elements in specific files. Although a system error may occur only when you work with Photoshop Lightroom, Photoshop Lightroom may not necessarily be the cause; it may be the only application that uses enough memory or processor cycles to expose the problem.
To benefit most from this document, perform the tasks in order. Keep track of the tasks that you perform and the results of each, including errors and other problems. Adobe Technical Support can use this information to better assist you if you need to call.
You must be logged on as an administrator to perform some of the procedures in this document.
Important: Some of the procedures in this document may initiate a User Access Control dialog that asks for your permission to continue. Read the details in the dialog to determine if you want to continue. If you choose to cancel the dialog, then you will not be able to continue with that troubleshooting step.
The steps in this document that refer to the Control Panel are in reference to the Classic view. For information on switching the Control Panel to the Classic view and many other common OS procedures, see Common Microsoft Windows Vista procedures (TechNote kb401275)
Some of these procedures require you to locate hidden files and hidden folders. Some procedures require you to locate files by their full file names, which include extensions (for example, example_filename.ini). By default, Windows Explorer doesn't show hidden files, hidden folders, and file name extensions that it recognizes.
To show hidden files, hidden folders, and all file name extensions in Windows Explorer:
In Windows Explorer, choose Organize > Folder And Search Options.
Click the View tab in the Folder Options dialog box.
In Advanced Settings, select Show Hidden Files And Folders.
Deselect Hide Extensions For Known File Types.
Click OK.
Note: The procedures in this document are based on the default interface of Windows Vista. If the interface is customized, some procedures may vary. For example, a commonly encountered difference is the navigation to Control Panel from the Start menu: You may navigate Start > Settings > Control Panel instead of Start > Control Panel. Additionally, the procedures in this document assume you are using the Classic View of the Control Panel: To view the Control Panel in the Classic View, click Switch To Classic View on the Control Panel navigation bar on the left side of the window.
Beginning troubleshooting
The tasks in this section can help you resolve the most common system errors. Before performing any of these tasks, back up all personal files (for example, Photoshop Lightroom files you created). Always restart the computer after a system error occurs to refresh system memory. Continuing to work without restarting the computer may compound the problem.
1.Make sure that the system meets the minimum requirements for PhotoshopLightroom.
Photoshop Lightroom may not run correctly on a system that doesn't meet the following requirements:
Intel Pentium 4 or equivalent processor
Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7
768 MB of RAM (1 GB recommended)
1 GB of available hard-disk space
CD-ROM drive
In addition to these requirements, a video card that supports 24-bit (16 million) or more colors, and a resolution of 1024 x 768 or higher, is recommended.
* Photoshop Lightroom 1.0 will install and run on Windows Vista but Adobe cannot guarantee the quality of the software experience until Adobe fully certifies Photoshop Lightroom for use on Windows Vista.
To check basic system information, such as processor speed and how much RAM is installed, choose Start > Control Panel > System.
2. Delete previously installed application files, especially if you had the public beta version of Photoshop Lightroom installed.
To delete files from a previous Adobe Photoshop Lightroom installation attempt:
Choose Start > Control Panels > Add or Remove Programs.
Select Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and choose to remove it.
Close the Add Or Remove Programs window and the Control Panel.
Open Windows Explorer.
If the Lightroom.exe file is still in the Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom folder, delete it.
If the Lightroom Preferences.agprefs file is still in the Documents and Settings/[username]/Application Data/Adobe/Lightroom/Preferences folder, delete it.
Empty the Recycle Bin.
Try to reinstall. If you cannot, continue with the next two sections in this step:
Move all the folders under the Users/[username]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom folder into a new folder on the desktop; name the folder Lightroom Presets. These are the presets that were installed with the application and that you created.
Move all the folders under the Users/[username]/Pictures/Lightroom/Lightroom Previews.lrdata folder into a new folder on the desktop; name the folder Lightroom Previews. If you have a large number of images, you can move this folder back to its original location before you open Photoshop Lightroom, once it's installed. Or you can delete this folders to re-create it when Photoshop Lightroom opens. If there are further problems with Photoshop Lightroom after it's installed, it might be due to corruption in the previews, in which case you need to delete this folder and re-create it.
Try to reinstall.Important: Do not delete the Lightroom Database.lrdb file!
If there are further problems with Photoshop Lightroom after it's installed, these issues may be due to corruption in the preset files you created, in which case you need to remove them and re-create them, or test each preset individually.
Note: If you can reinstall, and if this is not the first time you opened Photoshop Lightroom, then Photoshop Lightroom will look for a library database file. If it does not find a library in the expected location, it will prompt you to create a new library, locate the library, or exit. Exit will close the dialog box, and Photoshop Lightroom will not open. Although you can tell Photoshop Lightroom to locate your library, it's best to put it back in the default location and then open the application.
If you can reinstall, close Photoshop Lightroom and then copy any presets you created from the Lightroom presets on the desktop back into the Users/[username]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom folder.
If you cannot reinstall, then move the Lightroom Database.lrdb file from the Users/[username]/Pictures/Lightroom folder into a new folder called Lightroom Database File and save this file on the desktop. This is your database, if you previously had Photoshop Lightroom installed.
Reinstall Photoshop Lightroom. If you cannot reinstall, continue with the next task in this document.
3. Log in as Administrator before installingPhotoshopLightroom.
In Windows Vista, you must be logged in with local (that is, machine) Administrator rights to install Photoshop Lightroom. If you don't have administrator rights, contact your system administrator for assistance.
4. Check the CD and CD-ROM drive.
Dust or dirt on a CD can interfere with an installation and prevent the CD-ROM drive from recognizing the CD. Examine the Photoshop Lightroom CD for dirt, dust, or fingerprints. Gently wipe the bottom of the CD from the center outward with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Verify that the CD-ROM drive can read other CDs. If it can't, examine the CD caddy or loading tray for dirt, and clean it with a lint-free cloth. If it still can't read other CDs, contact the CD-ROM drive manufacturer or the computer manufacturer.
5. Install current Windows service packs and other updates.
Updates to the Windows operating system improve its performance and compatibility with applications. You can obtain Windows service packs and other updates from the Microsoft website at www.windowsupdate.com. For assistance installing service packs and other updates, contact Microsoft technical support.
Important: Before you install a system update, check the system requirements for Photoshop Lightroom (and any third-party software or hardware you may use with Photoshop Lightroom ) to ensure compatibility. If the update isn't listed, then contact Adobe or the manufacturer of your third-party software or hardware.
6. InstallPhotoshopLightroomfrom the desktop and use the default installation folder.
Some system components such as device drivers and virus protection utilities can conflict with the Photoshop Lightroom installer and result in an incomplete or failed installation, or they can cause problems when you install to a folder or when you use a path to the default installation folder that contains a special character, such as #. To prevent these conflicts, install Photoshop Lightroom from the desktop, and use the default folder name and path.
If Photoshop Lightroom autoplay displays, click Cancel when you are requested to Select the Language.
Copy the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom folder from the Photoshop Lightroom CD-ROM to the desktop.
Open the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom folder on the desktop.
Double-click the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.msi file, and follow the on-screen instructions.
7.Re-create thePhotoshopLightroompreferences file.
Re-create the Photoshop Lightroom preferences file to eliminate problems that a damaged preferences file might cause:
Quit Photoshop Lightroom.
Rename the Lightroom Preferences.agprefs file (for example, to Lightroom Preferences.old) in the Users/[username]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom/Preferences folder.
Start Photoshop Lightroom. Photoshop Lightroom creates a new preferences file.
If the problem continues, the preferences file isn't the cause. To restore custom settings, delete the new preferences file and restore the original name of the previous preferences file.
8.Install and run Photoshop Lightroom while no other applications are running.
Some applications may interfere with installing or running Photoshop Lightroom. Virus protection programs are meant to stop viruses from installing on your computer. Before installing or starting Photoshop Lightroom, disable other applications, including virus protection programs and startup items (items that start automatically with Windows).
To disable startup items and non Microsoft services:
Quit all applications.
Choose Start, type msconfig in the Search text box, and press Enter.
Write down all unselected items under the Startup and Services tabs.
Click the General tab, and choose Selective Startup.
Click the Startup tab and select Disable All.
Click the Services tab and select Hide All Microsoft Services.
Select Disable All then re-select FLEXnet Licensing Service. If you are unsure whether an item is essential, then leave it deselected (disabled).
Click Apply, and restart Windows for the changes to take effect.
Note: Upon restart, you'll be notified that the System Configuration utility has made changes to the way that Windows starts up. Click OK. When the System Configuration utility appears, click Cancel.
Right-click icons in the Notification Area and close or disable any startup items that are still active.
9. Install Photoshop Lightroom to a different hard disk after disabling startup items and installing from the hard disk.
Hard disk problems can prevent Photoshop Lightroom from installing correctly. By installing Photoshop Lightroom to a different physical hard disk, you can verify if the original hard disk is preventing installation. First, completely remove Photoshop Lightroom from the hard disk.
To install Photoshop Lightroom to a different hard disk after disabling startup items:
Follow the steps in task 8 above to disable startup items.
If Photoshop Lightroom autoplay displays, click Cancel when you are requested to Select the Language.
Copy the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom folder from the Photoshop Lightroom CD-ROM to the desktop.
Open the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom folder on the desktop.
Double-click the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.msi file, and follow the on-screen instructions.
Click Change and select a different hard disk in the Change Current Destination Folder window. Click OK, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
Intermediate troubleshooting
If the tasks in the previous section don't solve the problem, try the following intermediate troubleshooting tasks.
10. Install and run Photoshop Lightroom in a new user account.
Create a new user account that has the same permissions as the account that you use when the problem occurs. If the problem doesn't recur, the original user account may be damaged. For instructions on creating a new user account, see To add a new user to the computer in Windows Help or contact your system administrator.
11. Optimize handling of temporary files by Windows Vista.
Windows and applications store working data in temporary (.tmp) files that they create on the hard disk. Excessive or outdated temporary files can interfere with performance of Windows or applications.
Delete temporary files by using the Disk Cleanup utility included with Windows or by using the following instructions. Make sure that at least 1 GB of free space is available on the hard disk to which temporary files are written. To start Disk Cleanup, choose Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup. For information about Disk Cleanup, see Windows Help.
To manually delete temporary files:
Note: Windows deletes temporary files when Windows and applications close normally. However, when Windows or an application crashes, temporary files can accumulate on the hard disk. Windows may prevent you from deleting some temporary files as they may be in use. Delete as many temporary files as you possibly can, without deleting the files that are in use.
Quit all applications.
Choose Start and type %tmp% in the Search text box and press Enter.
Delete the contents of this folder.
Note the drive letter where this directory is located.
To ensure that at least 1 GB of free space is available on the hard disk to which temporary files are written:
Choose Start > My Computer.
Select the drive noted in step 4. Right click and select Properties.
Confirm the drive has at least 1 GB of free space.
12. Repair and defragment hard disks.
System errors can occur if hard disks contain damaged sectors or fragmented files. Repair and defragment hard disks, either by using the Error-checking tool and Disk Defragmenter utility included with Windows or by using a third-party disk utility. You should run such utilities on each hard disk or partition. More information about the Error-checking tool and Disk Defragmenter appears below; for more information about a third-party disk utility, refer to the documentation for the utility.
The Error-checking tool repairs bad sectors, lost allocation units and file fragments, cross-linked files, and invalid file names. To access the Error-checking tool, choose Start > Computer, right-click the desired hard disk, and choose Properties from the menu. In the Local Disk Properties dialog box, click the Tools tab, and then click Check Now in the Error-checking area.
Note: To prevent Disk Defragmenter from moving files to bad sectors of a disk, run the Error-checking tool before running Disk Defragmenter.
Disk Defragmenter rearranges the files and free space on your computer so that files are stored in contiguous units and free space is consolidated in one contiguous block. To access the Disk Defragmenter utility, choose Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter.
13. Scan the system for viruses.
Use current anti-virus software to check the system for viruses. Virus infections can damage software and cause system errors. For more information, see the documentation for the anti-virus software.
14. Try to install Photoshop Lightroomon a different computer.
Try to install Photoshop Lightroom on a different computer to determine if the problem is unique to your computer. If the problem is unique to your computer, contact the computer manufacturer; if the problem occurs on multiple computers, contact Adobe Technical Support.
Advanced Troubleshooting
If the tasks in the previous section don't resolve the problem, you may be able to resolve the problem by reinstalling Windows Vista and Photoshop Lightroom, reformatting your hard disk and reinstalling Windows Vista and Photoshop Lightroom, or by determining if hardware is conflicting with Photoshop Lightroom.
Disclaimer: Adobe doesn't support hardware and provides these procedures as a courtesy only. For further assistance, contact the hardware manufacturer or an authorized reseller. If you troubleshoot hardware problems yourself, you may void the warranty for your computer.
Note: Before you remove or rearrange hardware, turn off and disconnect power to the computer and any peripheral devices.
15. Log in using the built-in Administrator account.
The built-in Administrator account has a higher access level to the system than a normal local administrator account. By default the built-in Administrator account is disabled. For information about enabling and logging in to the built-in Administrator account, contact your system administrator. You can also refer to this support document on the Microsoft support website: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926183/en-us?spid=11737&sid=73.
16. Reformat the hard disk, and reinstall only Windows Vista and Photoshop Lightroom.
Reformat the hard disk, and then install only Windows Vista and Photoshop Lightroom from the original installation media. Reformatting a disk erases all files it contains, so be sure to back up all personal files first. Also make sure that you have all application and system disks.
For instructions on performing a clean installation of Windows Vista, see document 918884, "How to install Windows Vista" on the Microsoft website at http://support.microsoft.com.
Note: Don't install additional software or hardware until you're sure that the problem is resolved. Don't back up the hard disk and restore Windows and Photoshop Lightroom instead of reinstalling them. If the problem is caused by an application or Windows, and either one is restored instead of reinstalled, the problem may recur.
After you reformat the hard disk and reinstall Windows and Photoshop Lightroom, try to re-create the problem:
If the problem no longer occurs, then install other applications one at a time and try to re-create the problem after each installation. If the problem occurs after an installation, then the recently installed application may be the cause.
If the problem occurs when only Windows and Photoshop Lightroom are installed, then the cause may be hardware-related, and you should contact the hardware manufacturer or an authorized reseller for assistance.
17. Check for problems with RAM modules.
Ensure that the RAM modules are installed properly and are not the cause of your problem. Do one or both of the following:
Change the order of the installed modules.
Remove all but the minimum number of modules needed to run Windows and [product], and test to see if the problem persists. If it does, replace the modules you removed and remove the others, testing again to see if the problem recurs. If it doesn't, then one or more of the removed modules are the cause. For assistance, contact the RAM manufacturer.

How can I save my contact sheets in Photoshop Lightroom?

How can I save my contact sheets in Photoshop Lightroom? I see that you create the sheets under the Print tab but how can I save them as jpgs to my desktop?

Kittie,
I use this workflow and it works really well for me; it's really strange that it
i did
work for you and now it doesn't.
I had a quick dabble and
i may
have an explanation. If I read your error message it looks like "New Folder" is trying to create a folder ~kittie/Desktop/3 Working/Contact Pages. However, the automator "create folder" won't create folders recursively like that - it will only work if "3 Working" already exists. Certainly I was able to reproduce the 'quick flash error message and bomb out with no results' effect by asking it to produce a directory from one that didn't already exist. When I added two Finder actions it didn't work as I expected - producing 74 files in subdirectories that just looped round and round when I expected one file and one directory.
I added a shell script that renames the files too and it all works just dandy for me. If you let me know your e-mail I'll post the automator "app" file and shell script I use. It gives you sensibly named files instead of the sdkjfdfadkljfb.jpeg thing that comes out of automator.
