Error message in LR5

i have already uninstalled and re-installed ACC, PS CC and LR5 and am still getting the message "An error occured when attempting to change modules" when opening up LR5. i cant do anything in LR5. any suggestions?

nikonjedimaster, Did you had Lightroom 4 installed on this machine before installing Lightroom 5 and Did you try to upgrade your catalog from Lightroom 4 to Lightroom 5?
Lets reset Lightroom(LR) preferences and then check. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/lightroom/using/WS82DA0B67-FA83-4c71-84B9-6F248A97FBE8.html
In case of same issue, create a new Catalog and launch Lightroom:
Quit Lightroom(not sure if you are able to open it at all after that error).
Press Option(Mac) or Alt(Win) and Launch LR5, you will get the recent catalog list.
If you see any other LR5 catalog, select it and click Open.
Else, click on "Create a New Catalog". Type the catalog name and click on Create.
It will launch your LR5.
Check if your LR works fine now or you still get any error message.
If that works then, its an issue with your catalog.
This article will tell you, how to combine catalogs or move photos from one catalog to another. http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/catalog-faq-lightroom.html
Hope that helps.

  • Error message on LR5 CC startup

    Same problem in LR4 and in LR5: On startup, I get a long error message in computer code. The message appears over the LR screen as I last used it. I cannot do anything in LR because of the error message--not even choose File/Quit. I must Force Quit the application to do anything at all on my Mac, which is running OS 10.7.5.
    Yesterday I upgraded to LR5 CC and was able to import my catalog from LR4 and use the app. I shut down normally and turned off the computer. Today I turned it on, opened LR5, and had the problem. And Adobe provides no weekend support!?!?
    Help!

    More info: The error message begins with:
    An internal error has occurred.
    html passed to JSON:decode(): <IDOCTYPE html PUBLIC*"-/W3C/DTD XHTML 1.0 Transistional//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    The error message continues; it is so long that the code extends beyond the bottom of my screen.

  • Error message with LR5 when exporting files

    Hello,
    I have this error at the end of all my pictures exports :
    une erreur interne s'est produite : Win32 API error 2 ("Le fichier spécifié est introuvable.") when calling SehllExecuteExW from AgWorkspace.shellExecute
    Nevertheless, all my pictures exports are successful.
    I've re-installed LR5, but the error message is still there.
    Who knows how to get rid of this error message ?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    If it possible you have any plugins installed / enabled that you carried forward? One thing to check might be to disable all the plugins and do an export and see if you still get the message to rule out a plug-in causing the message instead of Lightroom.
    Does it do it for all exports? Have you tried different presets?

    As the crash report says - your outdated video card driver is crashing. You need to update your video card driver from the GPU maker's website (AMD/ATI in this case).

  • Error message when trying to open LR5

    LR5 on my Win 7 64 bit PC crashed and I had to force it to close and reboot my PC. Now when I try to open Lightroom I get the error message "Lightroom catalog cannot be opened as it being being used by another application. Quit the other copy of Lightroom before launching" I have no other copy of Lightroom running, any help please?

    Just to be aware of why this happened. When Lightroom has a Catalog open it creates a "temp" file with the same name as the Catalog with a .LOCK extention. The lock file prevents another user from accessing the cCatalog. When you close Lightroom it will automatically remove the LOCK file. If Lightroom closes unexpectedly, crash, power loss, whatever the LOCK file remains in place. This prevents Lightroom for accessing that Catalog.

    I cannot open a file from lightroom into CC2014 unless I open it as a smart object. CC opens, just will not display my image. i am given an error code when I save an image, and can only save to my desktop or other locations, not automatically back into my lightroom.
    I am using LR5 latest update, as well as CC2014
    Below is the error message:
    Line: 1 ->  photoshop.notifyLightroomDocClosed ('lightroom-2.0', 'B53AFA39-A49B-4709-A9BD-0B6467C175C3', 'Macintosh HD:Users:BPexposures:Desktop:_DSC5962 as Smart Object-1.psd');

    I was also having this issue, and I did some more searching and found this answer in the Adobe forums: Re: Photos from Lightroom 5 to Photoshop CC (2014) and back.... The issue appears to be caused by having not updated Lightroom to the latest version prior to having CC2014 installed (wow that's stupid). The trick seems to be to uninstall Photoshop CC2014 and to then reinstall it after having upgraded to Lightroom 5.5.

    I am unable to access my LR5.7 Catalog of my recent holiday. I am running Windows 7 (64Bit) and recently installed and then uninstalled DxO Optics Pro. The error message says it "cannot be opened because another application already has it opened.Quit the other copy of Lightroom before trying to launch"  The problem is, that I can only see one copy of LR5 open and cannot locate the ".lrcat.lock" file for the specific catalog I want to open. I have tried re-booting my computer, but this did not work.

    Thanks Geoff. I was finally able to locate the ".lrcat.lock" file relevant to the catalog I want to open. Once I deleted it, LR5 was able to access my images. Problem solved. THANK YOU

  • LR5 catalog error message after Windows 7 OS repair

    I had BSOD happening shortly after installing 5.4 update first and second Canon scanner driver for windows 7 a couple days later. I wasn't sure which program was creating the BSOD so I tried a few things and BSOD was getting worse. I restored comp to later restore point when I created a LR5 restore point. Still had BSOD. So I just did a windows repair. When I got back to desktop the LR5 was back to 5.3 and Canon scanner was unplugged. So far its been 2 days and no BSOD. Now I went to start LR got an error message "Unexpected error opening catalog" I'm guessing since it was rolled back it can't reconize the catalog. I don't care for losing it because I did all the work I needed to do. So I can just start with new imports, but I can't open LR. Where do I go from here. Should I create a new catalog or update LR to 5.4 and see what happens.  I hope it is not the update that was creating the BSOD. Any help thanks
    Junior

    My original post states I had upgraded LR5 to 5.4 and later installed Canon scanner shortly on another day. My conclusion was that my Canon scanner was the culprit because my original cd packaging was out of date which I did not realize until I tried to install it on my Wins 7 and message box said it was not going to work or compatible. I proceeded to Canon website to get a driver that will work with Wins 7 and installed it, a day later after using it to scan documents and started to get BSOD. It's been a few days now with no scanner installed and everything is working fine so far. Maybe by the weekend I will try to re-install the scanner or by a new one compatible with Wins 7.

    I have a similar problem - just posted this today, 5th July 2014. I get a message that says windows cannot find c:\programme files(x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd 32.exe.  Tried several uninstall/reinstalls with special programmes to check that uninstall was complete. Oddly, a download trial of the full programme Adobe Pro works OK !  If an expert out there can sort this it would be much appreciated.

  • Can't import photos into new LR5 installation, no import option, just error message saying "an error occurred while attempting to change modules"

    This is a new MacBook with a new CC LR5 installation. There is however no menu choice allowing me to import photos. Np right or left panels at all. When the program opens I get an error message saying there was an error changing modules.

    I Nearly bought from Amazon too but I found a thread from Adobe stating that the only recognized outlet for lightoom is themselves and other outlets serial numbers will not be guaranteed.
    THat at was sufficient for me to buy direct from Adobe, hope you get it sorted.
