Lightroom 5.3 crashing on windows 7

i have used lightroom for years and never have had any problems. i recently upgraded from LR 4 to LR 5.3 and have frequent crashes. I can't pinpoint when they happen. In the develop module and in the library module. I have windows 7. what to do???

hi
i am running 64-bit (i think?). the system information says Appliaiton architecture: x86. processor speed 2.7 GHz, built in memory is 2984 MB, memory available to Lightroom is 278 MB, cache size 48 mb. i have plenty of disk space.

Lightroom 4.4 crashed on Windows 7 Laptop, lost catalog info, won't import half my images.

Lightroom 4.4 crashed on Windows 7 Laptop today, lost catalog info, won't import half my images.
Not only is LR messed up, it deleted my day's shooting. Can't believe that.
Now it won't import (i.e. re-import) half my files.
Imported half, but had errors importing rest.
Corrupt catalog?
When I try to import the folders, it recognizes that they are in the catalog (I have "don't import duplicates" turned on).
After running through all the folders, it says, "Nothing to Import."
Any help?
Best,
Peter

Thanks dj_paige.
I installed a plugin, coincidence makes me thinks this might have cause a LR4.4 crash.
After rebooting my windows 7 laptop, LR had lost record of half my directories on the external drive, as seen in Library Module.
In Windows Explorer, the folders and images are still there.
I tried recovering the lost folder references in LR by doing an import on the external hard drive again.
It took about a half hour to run.
There was a report screen at the end of the process that said that LR was unable to import something like 1500 images.
I did not save the report screen. Maybe it is part of a log file somewhere to give you what it exactly said?
I do not profess to understand how catalogues work under the covers.
I only use one catalog at this point.
My guess is at this point I should de-commission the catalog (whatever it takes to do that - delete it, etc.) and just do a new, fresh import on my images.
I don't feel I lose anthing this way - I can't see where I would lose anything important. About 5-10% of the RAW images were processed and exported to jpg, just for web use for casual viewing. The jpg's are all still on the external hard drive.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Cheers,
Peter

Lightroom 5.3 crashes in Windows 8.1

I recently upgraded my laptop to one with Windows 8 (not because of Windows). The File Manager program does not work on my laptop, so I've had to install a third party file management app. Does Lightroom integrate with the Windows app because whenever I try to manage files in Lightroom (plug-in manager, publishing services, import destination) the program crashes. I can't install any plug-in's or add any new folders to my export settings. Is there a fix to this?

I just successfully tried the suggestions on this page: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/slowrightclick.htm! Disabling all context menu handlers except for the Windows files fixed the problem I was having in Lightroom!

Lightroom 5.6 crashing, not able to import or back up changes

I have been having issues with Lightroom 5.6 for few days now. I have been working from this Lightroom install for a year now problem free. The problem seems to happen when I try to import pictures. At first I thought it was my SD card but I copied the pictures to my desktop and was not able to import from the file on my desktop. It will start to download a few out of 400 and stop at 2 or 3 pictures then freeze. A message pops up that says "Lightroom encountered a problem and needs to quit" When i try to open Lightroom again I will get a message that says "The last time Lightroom ran, it shut down prematurely due to a problem reading the catalog. Lightroom must now check the catalog before proceeding." It will proceed to check integrity of the catalog then another message pops up saying it was repaired successfully. When I try to open, same stuff happens all over again.
I have not moved any files around through the external hard drive and there are no images in the catalog that are "missing." So I'm a little confused as to why Lightroom suddenly keeps crashing.
I am able to export images from the same catalog, I am able to edit pictures as I normally would,but I am unable to Back up the changes or import new files. I tried working from a different external hard drive and the same thing happens.
Please help!!

Are you able to import 450D raw files into LR5.5via USB connection and are you on Windows 7/8?
I agree with your observations concerning SD vs CF card fragility, but they also have a limited number of insertions before failure.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#Durability
The newer Micro-USB receptacles are designed for up to 10,000 cycles of insertion and removal between the receptacle and plug, compared to 1,500 for the standard USB and 5,000 for the Mini-USB receptacle. This is accomplished by adding a locking device and by moving the leaf-spring connector from the jack to the plug, so that the most-stressed part is on the cable side of the connection. This change was made so that the connector on the less expensive cable would bear the most wear instead of the more expensive micro-USB device.
All my Canon cameras have micro-USB connectors. With one (1) insertion and removal per day that equals 10,000 days, or about 27 years before end-of-life! SD and CF cards are also rated at ~10,000 insertion and removals, but more prone to damage from static electricity and handling due to the exposed contacts and fragility of CF card sockets.
So there's no real advantage from the camera wear perspective to using a card reader. I'd say use whatever method is easiest for your workflow, but handle memory cards with care and avoid exposing them to static discharge. Ground yourself to something metal before removing memory cards and inserting them into the card reader, especially in cold Winter months.
BTW- I helped design one of the first semiconductor DRAM memory systems back in 1970. We killed more memory chips than I care to count before we discovered they were easily damaged by static electricity. Today's ICs have built-in protection, but you can still damage them with a big enough static ZAP!

Lightroom CC 2015 crashes on Start Up - Solution doesn't work

I am experiencing the reported problem where Lightroom CC 2015 crashes immediately on start up displaying the splash screen for a fraction of a second. I have tried signing out of and back in to Creative Cloud as recommended but the fault persists. One this should not be happening with an Adobe product and secondly a better fix is required.

Support fixed the issue for me.
He looked into the Windows Event viewer and found the faulting path
Faulting module path: C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ig7icd64.dll
and renamed it ig7icd64old.dll
On restarting Lightroom he turned off the use graphic enhancement option in preferences.
Not seen this solution anywhere in the forums so I asked him to post it but not sure if he will.
Hope it helps.

Lightroom 3 keeps crashing in "Develop"?

I have recently installed Lightroom 3 and have been copying transparances. When attempting to improve images in "Develop", Lightroom 3 regularly crashes before reappearing and then continues to crash. Can anyone please advise? I use XP and there is plenty of space on the hard drives.
Thank you.

My limited experience tells me that this problem really should have nothing to do with Lightroom. Last year at work I scanned literally thousands of transparencies and used Lightroom 3 to do the corrections on them. I have also scanned lots of slides at home and have used Lightroom 3 and 4 and not experienced the crashing that you have. The big project at work was started using Windows XP and finished using Windows 7 64 bit, and I haven't experienced problems with either one. Something else must be contributing to the problem. How much ram? Tell us a little more about your system.

Yesterday I imported and was working on some files (ORF files).
Today everytime that I try to import more files (also ORF files), Lightroom immediately stops crashes, an error window pops up ("Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 64-bit has stopped working"). and closes.
Anybody knows why?!
Already rebooted the PC, and copied the files to the HD. Still crashing

Same here, except it's with JPEG or RAW files. I can import a folder, or an individual picture. However, when I try to import all of my pictures at once (either from external HD or the HD on my computer then i get the same error message and it crashes.

Lightroom 5.4 crashes when opening Preferences

Light room crashes everytime I try to open the Preferences menu. I've tried renaming the preferences file, deleting it, uninstalling the program and reinstalling but this still happens. I've found a few other posts on the forums with this same issue but no solution. Any idea what could be wrong? My system specs are below.

Every time I try to import photos, lightroom freezes, then crashes

Every time I try to import photos, lightroom freezes, then crashes. Any ideas? Thanks.

Thanks DdeGannes for the heads up- I knew that this was user-generated, but didn't know that Adobe doesn't reply directly.
Anyways, here's my exact query from another forum pasted (it's a lot of info to retype):
I haven't used LR 5.3 since December, and between then and now I reformatted my computer and reinstalled my basic program set. I haven't added any new programs, and if anything my current set-up should be the same as it was in December minus extra temp file bloat and a few extraneous programs.
Fast forward to today (after taking some new photos). I open up LR, and try to import but the program hangs and eventually crashes. The exact issue can be seen in this youtube video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wg0uQvVoZYw
Thinking it was a bad installation, I proceeded to remove LR, and reinstall it. No dice.
Thinking it was a driver/program conflict issue, I booted into Safe Mode and tried to import. No dice.
I'm all out of ideas. It looks like the issue is fairly common (judging by the number of new help threads on the Adobe Community Forums. Does anyone have any experience, or better yet, any fixes for this particular issue?
In case anyone asks, my general computer set-up is below:
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
LR 5.3
AMD Phenom II X6 1055T
8GB Ram
128GB OCZ Agility 3 SSD
1TB WD Green HD (where photos and catalog live)
Thanks in advance!

Lightroom 3.4.1 on Windows 8?

Anyone tried Lightroom 3.4.1 on Windows 8 Developer Preview version? I tried and it installed. But when I open, it opens and immediately crashes.

I have been running LR 4 on Windows 8 CP x64 on two systems and have been very pleased. Memory management is improved in Windows 8 and it transfers into good LR 4 performance. Most tasks run at the same speed as in Windows 7, but there seems to be less of a hit on system resources. After PS CS5 initially loads, I have found that subsequently choosing edit in Photoshop is actually more responsive - walked away for a few minutes while doing a test panorama of five D7000 nef mages and it was finished when I came back. Imports and standard rendering on my i5/8GB RAM laptop fly. The other machine is a little HP DM1Z laptop for travel (with an AMD Fusion processor). Imports are again fast but standard rendering is a bit slow. Accessing files of my network is somewhat slow but that has nothing to do with LR 4. Windows 8 is clearly not yet optimized on that front. The new task manager also means you can see a lot more information with respect to what LR 4 is using and what impact it is having on the rest of the system. BTW, it really does not take long to get accustomed to the Metro Start Screen and there are a lot of power features built in to the system. They do need to make shut down more obvious, and a primer on the new keyboard and mouse functionality would help, but it is still just the initial (almost) feature complete beta. There is, of course, the standard disclaimer that Windows 8 is a beta and mileage may vary with different hardware but so far the results have been very positive.

Lightroom 2.1 crashes when I switch to WEB module.

Lightroom 2.1 crashes when I switch to the WEB module.
I use Mac OS 10.4.10 / 2.16 Ghz Intel Core 2 DUO / 2GB RAM
Thanks for any help!

Now I have noticed other programs, if shut down (such as spysweeper or registry mechanic) will not restart unless they are stopped as a process.
It is frustrating to deal with vista the last 2 years. Should have stayed with XP Professional.
As for firewalls, no change if I switch to the Windows version or not.
I know now to start the task manager and leave it in the tray while I work on the web site.

I tried another machine, 64 bit of course, as I want to deploy my application on a 64bit PC, but still got the same problem.
This other machine was from HP, iCore 3 (4 CPUs) 2.2GHz, 4GB RAM and running Windows Professional 64 bit.
Now as I see it, it could be a Run-time environment mis-match error.
For this I tried installing a 64 bit LVRTE from NI, but still no sucess.
I checked DEP, for all 3 PCs and it was set to the following
Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only (first option).
I am confused. I can not find a solution for this and it is really frustrating.

But I am assuming that when I make the installer, the 32-bit Run Time Engine is appened with the installer, as show below
Since from the picture you can see its including the support installers from '\Program Files (x86)\'
The application runs queries to fetch data from database in SQL server 2008, and for that I am using a Microsoft SQL Native Client 2008 R2 64 bit ( this is the only version that installs on either PC, even the one on which I developed my LV Application).
I am not using any driver, only toolkits for reports - and for that I un-checked the "Remove unused polymorphic VI instances" when making the executable, otherwise LV throws up an exception that share variable are not being included.
Yes I did reboot every time after I ran the installation.
Still getting the same error.

Firefox was working fine in the morning, after half a day, it just crashed and now every time i try to start FF it crashes, i reinstalled FF, even tryed FF 4 beta, every time same crash report window, and nothing happens.

After a half day working normally, FF just crashed, and now i reinstall it, even tryed FF 4 beta, and still getting crash report. Cant even start in safe mode, same crash report window pop up.
Checked for viruses, malwares. Nothing helped.

Other applications print okay? If so, try deleting the Preview .plist
You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Hold down the option key while using the Finder "Go To Folder" command. Enter ~`/Library. Delete the .plist(s) for the application.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below. It does work with Mountain Lion:
http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/22/access-user-library-folder-in-os-x-lion/
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.2. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.
