Installing Lightroom 5 on windows 7 64bit does not work.

Installing Lightroom on Windows 7 doesn't work. It just sits at the "preparing files"stage and does nothing.

Hi Lyerlyjc,
Please right click on Lightroom and run as admin. If still the same issue then rename Lightroom preferences: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroom-41.html and try to launch again.

Why can I not import pictures any more? Lightroom says "Your Lightroom 5 64-bit does not work correctly"

Why can I not import pictures any more?
Lightroom says "Your Lightroom 5 64-bit does not work correctly"
Technical informations:
PC with Windows 7 64-bit, Lightroom 5.7.1 64-bit installed.
What I have done:
I downloaded the newest LR 5.71 and installed it again - mode repair; without success
I checked my PC with Norton 360: full scanning and optimizing registry
I restarted the PC and than I installed the LR 5.7 again - repair
Trouble 1:
Two days ago I could work with my LR 5 and to import pictures from a SD was no problem. Now I can start LR 5 and I can watch/modify pictures, but as soon as I try to import new pictures LR 5 stops and gives the message "your LR 5 64-bit does not work correctly - searching for solution". I have not changed anything in my computer since lasttime LR 5 worked properly, only the registry was optimized by Norton 360.
Trouble 2:
I live in Switzerland and my language ist German. I dit not find a place where I can present my problem in German, e.g. a phone number oder email-address oder german-chat. My English is to week for a discussion for computer problems and do understand it.
Help:
I would very appreciate if anybody can help me, either to trouble 1 or to trouble 2. Thanks.

Windows update does not work after using System recovery disk

I have a Toshiba Satellite c655 with WIndows 7 64 bit Home premium. The hard drive died on it, so I purchased a new hard drive and purchased the appropriate Recovery media from Toshiba. I followed the directions and installed the 3 disks on to the new hard drive. But Windows update does not work I get the following error: Windows update can not currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your PC    No matter what I try, I can not get it to work. And it will not let me install Windows Defender either. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time on this matter.

I get errors saying A problem is preventing the troubleshooter from starting.
That makes two similarities to the following thread. Both Windows Update and Troubleshooters fail to work correctly.

Hi there, I have a problem with my iPod Classic (from 2009). Everytime I connect it to my computer (Windows), iTunes does not work anymore. Music is automatically deleted on my iPod. Any suggestions please?

Hi there, I have a problem with my iPod Classic (from 2009). Everytime I connect it to my computer (Windows), iTunes does not work anymore. Music is automatically deleted on my iPod. Any suggestions please?

Thanks, for info, iPod Classic is a slower machine compared the Nano, unfortunately, if you read these discussions, majority of the freezes involved iTunes 10. Although if might be just slow and some impatient user just disconnect the iPod ands cause more problems. ( Yes I also did that but safely by doing a iPod Hard Reset, before disconnecting).
Here is the Apple support article that may help you.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
or my usual solution for Windows Users.
Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
My suggestion.
Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your iPod to the PC, using a high speed USB 2.0 port at the back of your PC, do not use any USB Hub.
When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well.
When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
Good Luck!

Lenovo OneKey Recovery for Windows 7 64bit does not work

Does anyone have a patch or new release link for Lenovo OneKey Recovery? I recently bought a G450 and Win 7 Ultimate-64bit separately, there is no link available in the support and download page under this model yet. I tried installing the Vista 64 bit version and still does not work as well. I did a clean install downloaded the drivers from the Lenovo support page.
Solved!

You haven't provided a link to the page you are trying to download from. On top and at the right of most download pages there should be a red loud speaker next to the print page button, just click on it in order to report a faulty download or possible other problems with the page.
Is the following page the page you were trying to download from? If so you can submit direct feedback if the download doesn't work for you.

10.4, How to stop plug-ins update reminder, Windows fix does not work on Mac.

Need to get rid of bar across top saying plug-ins are not up-to-date. The "fix" posted for Windows does not work on my Mac. When I try for updates, none seem to install. How do I really find out if the ones I have are the latest available for my system? Everything seems to work OK as is. Could it be that my Mac is PPC and that there are plug-in updates that would work in 10.4 on Intel but not on PPC, and that FireFox cannot differentiate?

Setting the Boolean pref plugins.hide_infobar_for_outdated_plugin to true on the about:config page should hide that info bar.

32-bit plugin shortcut created on windows 64 does not work in PS CS6 (32bit)

Here is a really odd one.
I have 32-bit and 64-bit PS installed on Windows 8. If I have a 32-bit plugin in FOLDER32, and I manually create a shortcut in the 32-bit PS Plugins folder that points to FOLDER32, 32-bit PS will not load the plugin in FOLDER32.
If I do the same thing for a 64-bit plugin in 64-bit PS, it works fine.
However, if I create the shortcut to FOLDER32 from a 32-bit program (such as a custom 32-bit installer tool), then 32-bit PS *can* follow the shortcut and does see the plugin in FOLDER32.
Weird, huh?
Message was edited by: Shmoopie99 (made title more specific)

The WoW64 subsystem redirects shortcuts that point to the 64-bit Program Files to the 32-bit Program Files (x86) causing the plugin to not be found.
The simplest fix would be to copy the 32-bit plugin into the Plug-Ins folder of the 32-bit version of Photoshop.
Unfortunately Wow64DisableWow64FsRedirection does not work for %PROGRAMFILES%, so a 32-bit application would have to attempt to fix the path manually.

XP windows restore does not work yet all is set correctly

XP windows restore function does not work. All the restore points exist with descriptions of the changes that prompted them. It will let me select them (restore points) and restore process will strart but after rebooting it will ultimatly let me know that it could not restore.
Does the Lenovo Restore and Rescue utility disable this function of XP ? ?
Thanks

Well I have a 6460-8WU that came with Vista and I got the downgrade CD set and tried to restore to XP. The first time it said it failed to restore my system, but it seem to have XP and all the applications that I expected to see. Later I had a problem with the Welcome Windows screen being unavailable... used only the Classic Windows Logon, I called Microsoft and they suggested using their system restore.... which didn't work at all... I tried 5 or 6 different backup files from different days and none of them worked. At that point I decided to use the Lenovo downgrade CDs and format the hard drive restoring everything from scratch. It took me a few tries but eventually I did get it to say that it had successfully restored my system. The items I learned from like 4 failed attempts to restore it are this:
1. Don't try to restore it while in the advanced dock.
2. When the restore process says to remove Disk # x and press OK, remove Disk # x-1 (the currently inserted Disk, and insert Disk # x, and then do not press OK until you wait 20 or 30 seconds or until the little icon of a CD that flashes when Windows reads a newly inserted disk has finished. When I tried clicking OK either before I had actually inserted the next CD or too soon after I had inserted the next CD the process went downhill from there and failed to restore properly.
3. When it seemingly has read all the CD's and says it will now start the restoration process, but you are asked to press Next... well firstly there *is* no Next button to press and the other buttons other than Cancel are greyed out. The solution there is to wait, and wait, and wait... so long that you may think the process has failed and the computer is hung... but it is not. Eventually it will continue from that point.
Aside from that, I notice that there is a new version of the Recovery Application on the Support site, but
if you install the latest Rescue and Recovery 4.20.0511.00 in the readme there are 31 "considerations" listed, which are basically conditions under which it does not work properly or as expected, so I won't be trusting it to recover my system. I will make a Paragon Drive Manager image after I get the updates all installed and use that to restore from.

Java applet works in windows and does not work in linux

Hello, guys!
I'm working with site which is located in vpn network at work.
I use browsers firefox 3 and opera.
When I want to open java applet using firefox or opera at first everything is fine then on the last stage of loading(judging by progress bar) applet hangs(progress bar hangs) and when I reload page firefox shows in the bottom bar: applet <applet's name> bail.
In windows everything works both in ie6 and firefox 3.
On both environments I have the jre 6 installed.
please help!

Ok, I installed ies4linux and jre 1.5.16. I can work with that but when I start applet screen goes black and window frames dissapear.
To solve this problem(feature?) I disabled DirectX-based acceleration for Java 2D but that works for javacpl.exe and does not work for my applet.

Sleep Mode in Windows 10 Does not work

Ever since I upgraded to Windows 10 Sleep mode does not work properly when closing the lid or pressing the shutdown button when you set these to sleep. I have updated the BIOS, Intel Chip Set Drivers, and Video Driver to the latest. All HP and Windows UPdates installed. Problem is not everthing goes to sleep, typically my ethernet connection, audio and fan stay on. Must use the Power Button and Hold to recover. Each time I close the lid and open it I have a black screen. I can tell when it is not going to sleep by noticing the Ethernet jack is still lit and the fan making noise after closing the lid or pressing the power button. Here's the kicker, make a change to any of the power settings, save and come back into them and reset to sleep and it will work with the lid ONE TIME ONLY. There after its back to never working, never fully sleeping and having to reboot. Need Help.

I just discovered that HP has posted a new support page for people who are having issues with the computers after converting to Win 10. I was particularly interested in the section on issues with Sleep/Hibernation and found this whole page: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03383935 Looks like apart from the driver issue, it could be that the settings in the Device Manager for your KEYBOARD are not set correctly!!! - yeah, that's what I said. Anyway, the full resource is located here and may be of some help. http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04773236/ PS: I also checked to see if there were new drivers for my notebooks and see that it has now been two days since they were last updated. Perhaps there is hope!

Lightroom CC 2015 HDR does not work!

I have tested the HDR merge feature in Lightroom CC 2015 using photos taken inside rooms with windows that provide a view of a sunny outdoor area. Both HDR Efex Pro and Photomatix render the rooms interior and the details of the exterior as seen through the window. Using LR HDR the window is just one big blown out highlight. Other problems include:
1) No ability to adjust the amount of tone compression
2) Limited ability to adjust the HDR output in the develop module because the Highlights slider is at zero and the Shadows slider is around 70%.
3) If you click the reset button in the Develop module you get an image with both the highlights and shadows completely blown out instead of the tone mapped image you would see in HDR Efex Pro or Photomatix.
I am stunned that Adobe would provide a feature that works so poorly. With the images I have tried it really does not work at all. What's the story?

Here is a +/- 3 EV HDR that both LR6/ACR9 and PS-HDR Pro do a reasonable job with, where the only adjustments are clicking Auto in LR:
Here are the three images, EV+0, EV-3, EV+3, where to get a reasonable view out the windows, the interior was nearly black and to get a reasonable view of the interior, the windows are nearly white.
Here is a side-by-side of the EV+0 shot with various adjustments applied vs the LR6/ACR9 HDR result with Auto clicked. Tonally they look similar. What is better with the LR6/ACR9 version is the view out the windows has more detail and less clipped, and the noise in the darker areas is much better, meaning LR6/ACR9 used more of the brighter image for the floor and more of the darkest image for the view out the windows, which is exactly what HDR is supposed to do:

Wireless Works during install.... Does not work after install.

Hiya!
I just finally finished semi-installing from live. it's exciting. I'm stuck at cli trying to get wireless to work.
it's really weird. First- I only have wireless (it's from my downstairs neighbors). I used it DURING the install process- downloaded all of the packages, etc etc.
But when I start up my computer, I get a [FAIL] by network (it does not start up). However, if i # ifconfig wlan0 up, the wireless turns on.
iwconfig does not work
and I cannot scan for networks...
During install, I was able to see the names of every network.
There isn't any sort of password for the router I would like to connect to (and connected to before); it's just a linksys.
My wireless card is intel 5300 and I'm almost certain I installed the 5000 driver package.
Thoughts?
Perhaps I should go to sleeeeeeep..

Open Link in New Window, sometimes does not work???

The problem is in FF4b9 an 10 (the only ones I tested). The problem is that when I open a link in a new window sometimes it does not work. Well, I am presented with a new instance of the browser as expected but it seems like the parameter is not passed or something. Also, I have noticed something weird about the new instance. There is a button labeled Firefox in orange and another set of minimize, maximize, and close buttons. Here is a screenshot:
http://i52.tinypic.com/ilejkn.png

There is this pref: browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground
But it doesn't have effect if you open links via the Library, it only works when opened via the browser window (menu, toolbar, sidebar).
