Error when launching lightroom 3.3 in windows

I am receiving an error when I try to open lighroom 3.3.  I've only had the program installed for a few days on my newly installed windows 7, 64-bit machine.  All windows and adobe updates installed, as of yesterday.  The last time I used lightroom, I edited a file "141.jpg" that came from my SD card plugged into the computer.  I dont recall saving this file, as I was just playing with settings.  I closed the program and now, a day later, I click on lightroom and a text box appears on my windows desktop that reads "Lightrrom - Opening Catalog: IMG_0141.JPG.lrcat"  Immediately after, an error box appears and says Adobe lightroom has stopped working, with the only option to close.   I have searched the forums and was unable to find the user/appdata/prefs folder to delete (using explorer and the search function).  I have uninstalled twice and reinstalled the 64bit then 32bit versions with the same error.  I have also deleted the lightroom folder that appears in "My Pictures" folder prior to the second reinstall.  I just bought the serial and put it in yesterday and now it doesnt work!   Please help. Thanks

This situation arises when you try to create a new catalog from within LR, and then pointing to an existing file instead of entering a new folder name to be used for the catalog (I've filed a bug against it).
You only can solve this in two ways (Alt/Ctrl-Key during start does not help):
1) Rename the existing JPG
Rename the file IMG_0141.JPG (if you know where it resides) to something like IMG_0141_Ori.JPG
Start LR, this will start LR in a fresh, new catalog called "IMG_0141.JPG"
File/Open Recent to open your previous catalog
Delete the newly created folder IMG_0141.JPG
Rename the file IMG_0141_Ori.JPG back to IMG_0141.JPG
2) By deleting/renaming your preferences file
Rename/Delete the LR preferences file
(File locations see this KB article)
Start LR, this will start LR with default preferences/catalog
I would recommend solution 1.

    Squirrel, This problem occurs after having selected an existing JPEG file when trying to create a new catalog, instead of entering the name of a new catalog. To recover, rename the LR preferences file and restart LR. Name and location of the LR preferences file can be found here. Beat

  • Problem when start lightroom 6 on my windows 8.1 notebook

    I have a problem when start lightroom 6 on my windows 8.1 notebook, the system says "impossible find input point in _crtCreateSymbolicLinkW in C:\windows\system32\msvcp110.dll", and lightroom 6 terminate. I disinstalled and reinstalled many times but I have always the same error. What is the problem? Thank for the answers.

    Download update 4 for Intel x64 or Amd if your notebook have an Amd CPU of Visual studio 2012 and trya again. Before you can controll if the installer install library of visual studio 12 during installation and see if the library missing is on windows\system32.

  • Java Error when launching BLS

    Using xMII 11.5 SP3, one of our other xMII developers is getting the following Java error when launching the BLS editor:
    Unable to load resource: http://xmiid.oxy.com/Lighthammer/CMSLogicEditor/activation.jar
    His computer was reimaged a couple of days ago with our standard image (Windows XP SP2, IE6 SP2).  It worked fine on his computer prior to the re-image.  He's reloaded Sun Java 1.4.2_01 on his computer (our company default is 1.4.1_01.)
    I can't duplicate the error on any of our test computers - one of which was also recently re-imaged.
    Any ideas?
    David

    David,
    So other standard imaged machines are running 1.4.2_01 and have no issues?  I would expect to see problems with the webstart cookie handling for that version, but I'm running _15....
    Try clearing the Java WS cache on the problematic client instance to watch it try to download all the libraries fresh.
    File...Preferences, reconfirm that the None radio button is selected on the General tab, and then on the Advanced tab, press the Clear Folder button.
    You could also make sure before hitting the editor link in the Menu.jsp that there are no dead or leftover javaws processes running in the task manager.
    Regards,
    Jeremy

  • Adobe Premiere Pro error when launching software...

    I checked my drivers and they are up-to-date. I am using Core I7 Windows 7. I did have Adobe Premiere CS5 installed and it worked fine. When I subscribed to the Creative Cloud I uninstalled the CS5 installation and downloaded the CS6.

  • I am receiving the following error when launching Adobe Premiere Elements 13

    I am receiving the following error when launching Adobe Premiere Elements 13: Premiere Elements Debug Event Preferences.cpp-353 . I am running this on a Win 7 64 bit device on a Windows domain.  The user is not a network/local administrator.  Any ideas?

    RogerCHS
    Are you running the program from a Domain or Local Administrative type User Account? Apparently not Local Administrative by your description in the introduction?
    Last time we had this type of issue, the user was coming from a Domain type of account. The issue remains in that thread unresolved although there was some intervention
    by Adobe Staff.
    https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1638947?start=0&tstart=0
    Is yours a separate matter or are you related to the user in the other thread?
    Please review and consider, supply more details, and then we can decide what next.
    Thank you.

    I get this error when launching itunes "the registry settings used by the itunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing." I ahve reinstalled iTunes multiple times but the issue remains.....any suggestions?

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

  • Error when launching promoted app from RemoteAPP

    Hi:
    We are receiving this error when launching any application from RemoteAPP, we tried promoting Calculator, Notepad, etc. and received the same error as well.
    "Personalization:
    This theme can't be applied to the desktop.
    Try clicking a different theme"
    Help!
    Thank you,
    Stangride

    If you launch the app directly from the session hosts using the same account that your using with remoteapp what are you getting? Try and RDP to the session host when you attempt it. I would also check rsop.msc to see if you have any GPO or scripts that
    are manipulating themes.

  • After Effects Plugin Error when launching

    I recently installed Red Giant Knoll Light Magic Pro plugin and get the following error when launching AE CS4 9.02 on a 2.53Ghz Intel Macbook Pro with 4Gb Ram and Snow Leopard.
    After Effects has encountered an error.
    [/Chincillada/pro/ext/adobe/MediaCore/MediaLayer/VideoFilterHost/Make/Mac/../../Src/AEPlug inVideoFilterModule.cpp-107]
    then I get:
    After Effects can't continue: An output contract violation has occured!
    then:
    After Effects warning: Failed to initialize mediacore
    I have also lodged a support ticket with Red Giant but wanted to see if anyone had experienced, or could shed any light on this error code.
    Thanks

    As a start, move the KLF plug-in out of the shared MediaCore folder (Library:Apllication Support:Adobe and something; not on my Mac ATM) to the conventional AE plug-in folder (Applications:Adobe After Effects CS4:Support Files:Plug-Ins) I've reminded my friends at RG a hundred times, but their installer stil luses bad default locations. If that doesn't fix it, then indeed you have a problem. Which version of the plug-in are you using? Most complaints revolve around v2.5's GPU usage, which is on by default and causes a lot of trouble. Older versions do not do this, so they are more stable....
