Help loading lightroom

Hi, I just loaded lightroom from my Adobe Creative Cloud Apps. I started to view the tutorials, but my screen looks nothing like the screen on the overview tutorial. I've created a catalog, but can't find any way of importing my photos into it, because my interface looks nothing like the interface in the tutorial. When I press on just about anything, I can the follow message:An error occurred when attempting to change modules. I've added a screen shot of my desktop with Lightroom open.
What am I missing????

I suggest you try trashing prefs, followed by a re-launch.
Quit Lightroom
Launch Finder and find the user Library by clicking the Go menu whilst holding down the Optn (alt) key (n.b. the library is hidden until you press the optn key) and inside the Library folder select the preferences folder. Then trash the following file:
com.adobe.Lightroom5.plist
If that makes no difference see the link posted by Paige

Is there a phone number I can call to talk to a live person about help with Lightroom issues ?

Is there a phone number I can call to talk to a live person about help with Lightroom issues ?

well the reason I wanted to talk to someone live because it would take forever to explain everything on here But anyway, here goes. I have an HP Pavilion Notebook with Intel Core i5-323om CPU @2.60 GHz and 8 gb ram 64bit. I am trying to run Lightroom 5.7 on my laptop and having major issues. I use an external hard drive for the storage of my photos. When I try to use Lightroom I run into many issues: Flickering of the screen, freezing up, slow, the loading circle just goes round and round lol. If I go to the washroom or leave the computer for even a minute it freezes up. I have to keep pressing Ctr/alt/delete to bring it back when it flickers. I have to constantly exit out of the program and restart it to be able to edit even just a couple of photos and then it starts acting up again.
I have tried un-installing and re-installing, updating everything on my pc, changing compatibility settings, updating development settings, I even took the laptop into have it looked at and they did all kinds of updates etc...and still couldn't figure out why it wasn't working for me. I have gone through the lists of troubleshooting for LR problems and there just seem to be nothing that works.....I have made new catalogues, moved them, tried using the software on my pc without the EHD, etc etc.......I have tried EVERYTHING...I think.....so I was looking for some answers as to why this is happening....

I was running Lightroom 3.6 with the OS Windows XP (Sp3). The whole system crashed, I am unable to recover the serial number. I then upgraded my OS to Windows 7 (x64) and down loaded Lightroom 4.4, I wanted to buy a licence so I then upgraded to Lightroom

I was running Lightroom 3.6 with the OS Windows XP (Sp3). The whole system crashed, I am unable to recover the serial number. I then upgraded my OS to Windows 7 (x64) and down loaded Lightroom 4.4, I wanted to buy a licence so I then upgraded to Lightroom 5, now when I try to register I am asked for the original licence/serial number. Where do I go from here??????

If you upgraded from 3.6 to 5 (you didn't indicate buying 4.4) then you will need the serial number from 3.6 in order to be able to use 5. If you did not keep a record of it there is a chance it might be available thru your Adobe account online, but if not, there is likely not much you can do except to return the upgrade and purchase a full version. Try contacting support using chat and explain your situation to see if they can help.

If you did purchase 4.4 then that should be sufficient to use to activate 5.
I can never be sure what goes on with Lightroom, and the Adobe site (even when it works properly) makes finding information about products difficult these days so I am at a loss to confirm anything I say.

Down loaded lightroom 5 and installed but won't open right. On opening Message "an error occurred when attempting to change modules"

Have a Mac Book Air with Lightroom 4 Full Download aboard. Just got an iMac. Wanted to load Lightroom 4 on iMac. Took the Adobe download file off the Mac Air and tried to load it on the iMac. It was successfull but on opening the message "an error occurred when attempting to change modules" appeared. I removed Lightroom 4 and went to Adobe orders and re-downloaded my original order to the iMac. Same effect. Bought full Lightroom 5 hoping to fix but the same message appeared. What's up! Any help?

Hi, I have just loaded Lightroom 5 from the disc onto my Mac. every time i try and launch the application, it goes to the registration/licence window. i have input the data five times already.

Masher please use the uninstaller located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder. Once Photoshop Lightroom is removed then please download Lightroom 5.5 from Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.5 and reinstall.

Help! Lightroom freezes after installing.

I get this message after trying to create or open a catalog: "An error occured when attemting to change modules." Then Lightroom freezes.
I work on a Mac and have formatted and reinstalled my systemdisk with a qlean install. I had Lightroom installed and have used it for some years. But when installing the programs again I went for the Creative Cloud solution. When I tried to open my previous catalog I got this error message. And after several deinstallings and reinstallings I still get the same message and Lightroom freezes.
Anyone who can help?

Hi Ian.
Thank you for answering. But I find no such file in Preferences. I think Lightroom freezes before making the preference file. Other solutions?
Best wishes,
Magne

Help loading a binary tree from file

Hi all,
So I am working on making a 20 question game using a binary tree. I have set it up so each time the user plays, if the computer cannot guess what they are thinking of, they tell the computer and it saves it. I am saving the tree in a text file recursively, in a format that looks something like this:
Do you use it outside?
a shovel
[null]
[null]
is it round?
a ball
[null]
[null]
a TV
[null]
[null]
The problem is now, I am having a very hard time rebuilding the tree when the user restarts the game. As you can see, the "{" indicates the beginning of a path and the "}" is the end. Can someone suggest a nice way to load this back up into my data structure? Thanks!!

Can't load lightroom trial after upgrading from 5 to CC.

I was half way through my lightroom 5 trial when I upgraded to lightroom CC. the application manager still comes up asking if I want to continue my trial, but when I click on that it doesn't load lightroom.
I have completely uninstalled both versions (manually for 5, as per the instruction on the Adobe site) and with the uninstaller for CC, and then reinstalled lightroom CC, but still it won't load.
Does anyone else have this problem?

OS x 10.10.3.
Yes, lightroom cc (2015) is listed in the Creative cloud as installed.
When I click on the app in the Creative cloud drop down the Lightroom app appears briefly in the dock, then the application manager appears and the lightroom icon disappears. After clicking the "continue trial" button in the application manager it closes and lightroom does not open.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times, but no change.

Loading Lightroom 4 on a MacBook Pro without CD player

I have just rec'd Lightroom 4 from B&H for my MacBook Pro which has no CD player. How do load Lightroom 4 on the MacBook Pro? Can I copy the CD (on another PC) to a Flash Drive USB Memory card and then use this USB card to load up the MacBook Pro?
Thanks

Yes, you can. Just make sure that "PC" is actually a Mac or the resource tree may get damaghed and the DMG loses its magic...

After loading lightroom 5 can i remove lightroom 4

Just finished loading lightroom 5 onto my mac , was wondering do i have to still have to have lightroom 4 installed or can i now uninstall it?

Feel free to uninstall. It probably wouldn't hurt to record your serial number in case you ever want or need to download a 4.x version and run it.

I need help installing Lightroom 5. I tried the trial and it does not have an uninstall feature. Thus, I'm trying to activate with my new $9.99 per month subscription and it simply will not work. Very frustrating you already took my money and no results

Just for clarity, "we" haven't taken your money - this is a user-to-user forum, and you're not talking to Adobe.
Like Rob I'm a Windows user, and - like him - I thought "uninstalling" on Macs was simply a case of trashing the application. Google would seem to concur.
Not really a Lightroom/Adobe issue, then?
