Lightroom 5.5 stopped working.

Lightroom 5.5 stopped working.  when opening any photos the message says "unexpected error opening catalog"

Go to the Lightroom catalog folder on your hard drive (the default location is usually inside the pictures folder)
Look for your named catalog ending in .lrcat
Double-click on the lrcat file.
If that makes no difference you may need to start over with a new catalog if you don’t have an earlier back-up of the lrcat file. Check your backups folder as these are often made when Lightroom quits.
To start a new catalog click:
File >> New Catalog
Choose a new name and save.
When the empty catalog opens, import again from your folders.
N.B. before starting a new catalog I would suggest you update to Lightroom 5.7. Download links are available from this blog:

  • Lightroom 3 Lightroom 64 bit stopped working

    I am using Lightroom 3 on Windows 7 platform.
    I got the lightroom 64-bit stopped working message.
    I went to the forums etc and got the following advice
    Delete preference file: I did
    delete catalog file: I did
    delete .lock files
    I uninstalled and reinstalled and got  Lightroom 64-bit stopped working message.
    Is there a fix to this?

    Very likely there is a way to fix this, but since we don't know the root cause yet, it's just experimentation time. Here is a list of the steps mentioned as well as many others: Troubleshoot system errors, freezes | Windows | Adobe software

  • Lightroom CC has stopped working ...

    Hello, I upgraded lr 5.7.1 to Lr CC (via Creative Cloud) but when Lr CC lauches to upgrade the catalog I have a pop up : Lightroom has stopped working". What could be the problem ??? Many thanks

    I have had the exact same problem and managed to get hold of a chat support person to check it out. I run LR on a Toshiba Laptop with windows 7 with SP 1. After a 1 hour wait for chat and about 1 hour of the guy taking over my machine, it transpires the reason that Lightroom  hangs after catalog upgrade is that the graphics drivers on the Laptop are not compatible with Lightroom 6, Solution is upgrade drivers, I have therefore cancelled my CC subscription which I took out only 2 days ago, i have managed to get it cancelled. Also there are no updatede drivers for my laptop which essentially means Lightroom 6 is not supported on this particular laptop. I am going to stay on Lightroom 5.7 until I decide to buy a new laptop or mac. Eh oh, this has been a waste of a weekend but I hope that this solution helps. To check if this problem is related to your upgrade, check the windows event viewer when the app hangs and see if there is a problem with the aticfx64.dll if there is then you need to upgrade the drivers, if they exist !

  • Lightroom 5.5 stops working when I try to Edit Preferences

    I installed Lightroom 5.5 a month back. I had no other versions of Lightroom on my computer before that. I have Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CC on my machine. I want to add Noise Ninja standalone as an External editor and have tried to edit preferences. I use Windows 8.1 on my desktop. Every time I click on Edit->Preferences, Lightroom stops working and exits. I read the forum and once removed the Preferences file and restarted. The problem still continues. I am unable to find a solution.

    Thanks Geoff the Kiwi.  Did they forget to include those two DLLs in the installation package?
    Nope. Just to be clear, they are Microsoft DLLs which can be and are used by other applications, including Lightroom. In the majority of the "007b" cases that we came across on these forums it was determined that an application called iLivid was heavily implicated in corrupting these two DLLs and thus impacting Lightroom. So Adobe provided this "fix" which simply downloads "clean" versions of those two DLLs.

  • Edit a copy with lightroom adjustment suddenly stopped working

    I have been using lightroom 3.4 and photoshop CS6 for sometime. However suddenly I cant move images from lightroom to photoshop (Ctrl+E) with the "Edit a copy with lightroom adjustment".
    When I click this option, it opens the Photoshop. But doesnt open the image. However the other two options "edit a copy" and "Edit original" works fine.
    Also when i add photoshop again as another external editor, it works fine. But as you all are aware this create another copy of the image.
    What I did
    I checked the applications path for photoshop and it was correct.
    I uninstalled lightroom and reinstalled.

    Hi Victoria,
    I dont have 3.6. but I installed lightroom 4 and the function worked fine. But i didnt like the version 4, as it consumes a lot of resources.
    I can open raw files without any problem.
    And this function had been working before and suddenly this stopped working. I didnt do any setttings changes even.
    Really appreciate your help on this.

  • Lightroom 5.6 stops working when I click Help Lightroom Online...

    I recently installed Lightroom CC 5.6 64-bit for the first time, in Windows 7, and the very first menu item I clicked (Help > Lightroom Online...) caused the following error to happen. (see photo, below).
    Any suggestions on how to make this problem go away?
    The issue is 100% repeatable, and forces me to close and re-open the Lightroom program each time. I have not yet tried all of the other functions to check their behavior, except for Help > Lightroom Help... which worked as it should.

    No help with those. Actually I tried same thing on my HP Envy Laptop and it gives slightly different response. This is a screenshot after clicking.
    I wonder why someone indicates this "correct answer" cos there is not yet my respons of solving this problem? In both computers I only use Administrator account and Lightroom still continues this behavior even if I got fresh account. And ofcourse that can't be a solution in problem witch does not repeat any other application.
    Regards
    Sami

  • Lightroom 3 has stopped working

    I can't get the program to even open any more. I tried upgrading to 3.6 (I think I was using 3.3), but it still won't open. Is LR3 no longer compatible with my Mac operating system (10.6.8)?

    AlexTWilson wrote:
    It may be that my version of LR is too old (as the OS is updated)
    No, that's not the reason. Your updated OS will work with Lr3. The problem lies somewhere else.
    How long did you wait when you saw "Lightroom not responding" before force-quitting?
    It can happen that Lr needs quite a while, particularly after you had problems.
    You should at least wait 10 min.
    But if that doesn't help I would suggest a 2-step process:
    1) Replace the Preference File.
    This file can go "funny" and is then responsible for all kinds of strange behavior of Lr. The remedy is replacing the Preference File.
    BTW: Re-installing Lr does not replace the Pref. File since it is designed to "survive" updates and upgrades of Lr.
    See here for where to find the Preference file for your OS: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroo m-4.html
    See here for how to go about Replacing the Preference File: http://lightroomers.com/replacing-the-lightroom-preference-file/745/
    2) If that doesn't help: Re-install Lr.
    Un-install it with your OS and re-install Lr 3.6.

  • For some reason Lightroom 2 has stopped working correctly.

    As of this morning I can't even select all and export files to my laptop any more.
    Prior to this I was having problems with selecting all and adding a label. Even though all pics were highlighted, only the first file updates and I need to individually update the label on each file, even though they are all highlighted. I'm very busy and this is very frustrating - is there an update to correct this?

    That was a problem with exporting to my desktop, not my laptop

  • Wacom Tablet Pen Pressure stops working in Photoshop after using Lightroom Local Adjustment Brush

    Hi all,
    I am experiencing a problem with my Intuos Pro Medium (driver 6.3.9w3 on Windows 8.1)
    I am using Lighroom 5.6 and Photoshop CC 2014.
    I an get the pen pressure to work in Photoshop without any problem. However, if I go into Lightroom and use the Local Adjustment Brush and then transfer the photo into Photoshop (Right Click Edit In => Edit in Adobe Photoshop 2014 CC) then the pen pressure stops working in Photoshop.
    Really frustrating... The only workaround is to close both Photoshop and Lightroom, then reopen Photoshop, then usually the Pen pressure feature starts working again.
    Has anyone experienced this before or has any idea how to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Guillaume

    Your tablet driver isn't reporting pressure correctly.
    The knockoff tablet drivers usually need to be revised for each new version of Photoshop (and we have no idea why).
    Contact your tablet maker to see if they have updated drivers to fix their bugs.

  • Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 64-bit has stopped working [Lightroom 5 Beta]

    I was looking for a Lightroom 5 Beta forum but am unable to find one.  Today, I downloaded and installed LR5 Beta on my new HP Envy 64-bit Windows 8 machine.  After running an installation, I started the program.  At first, it asked about opening a catalogue during which time I created a new one as I have no intention of using my LR4 catalogue for LR5B.  After creating the catalogue, it stated the following:
    "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 64-bit has stopped working.  A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
    After it closed, I tried opening it again.  Same result.  No matter how many times I tried, the program would not open.  I tried reinstalling the program to no avail using the "repair" feature.  Finally, I just removed the program.
