Lightroom bugs with Windows Vista

I'm having difficulties with one of the file navigation controls in LR running under Windows Vista. The control that pops up with the import (choose files) function works fine, but the control that pops up with the add folder or create new library function misbehaves and causes LR to hang.
I've logged a ticket with Adobe, tried all the standard workarounds (run as administrator, re-create preferences etc.), but to no avail. I think it is a bug.
Has anyone experienced this? Any solutions out there?

What I've seen is that if you try to import from a card reader using the LR downloader, you get a list of files on the card and a message saying that they could not be imported. This also apparently damages the LR database because you cannot import even from a folder on the computer until you delete the database and create a new one. It happens in XP compatibility mode for me too. Otherwise, I have had no troubles using LR on my Vista machine. I can import from a card using another program's downloader and then import the folder into LR for editing.

  • Is Lightroom compatible with Windows Vista?

    Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 1.0 will install and run on Windows Vista; however, Adobe cannot guarantee the quality of the software experience until Adobe fully certifies Photoshop Lightroom for use on Windows Vista...

    No.

  • How I fixed  bug with Windows VISTA & iTunes 7.3 software...

    Okay guys, for a few weeks I've been posting about how my Windows Vista will not work with the iTunes software 7.3.
    Many of you with Vista also have posted the same problems over and over and over with no real answers available to us.
    Well, I have fixed my problem.
    The last straw was last night when I desperately needed to burn something and obviously I couldn't because my CD/DVD Drive was "Missing".
    All this morning I backed up all my files on my computer and reformatted my computer by choosing to set it back to factory settings. After 60 min. of this, after the 3 prior hours, my computer appeared brand new.
    And sure enough, my CD/DVD Drive was there. Next, I went to my Roxio Easy CD Creator and sure enough, it also recognized my Drive as well. I had it burn a file and it worked.
    Next, I went to an older Apple Downloads page, and Downloaded iTunes 6.0. Not anything but the lowest 6.
    http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.htm
    And guess what, it works as well with my Vista.
    I loaded a CD Soundtrack, pulled a few tracks into a separate folder then burned them and checked them.
    So, this is one option for you guys out there to try that gets an A+ from me. Yes, it has literally taken me all day and night, but everything is back to working order and I am finally happy!
    Anything to get rid of that nasty Version 7, anything!

  • Does Lightroom 4 work with Windows Vista?

    Hi, I can't find Vista mentioned anywhere in association with Lightroom 4. Before I purchase this software, could someone please tell me if I will have compatability issues between LR4 and Vista. Thank you

    When LR4 was announced, they said it worked with Windows Vista with Service Pack 2. See: http://thelightroomlab.com/2012/03/adobe-photoshop-lightroom-4-now-available/
    Since then, Adobe has un-helpfully removed that from its website, and now the website says you need Windows 7. see: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom/tech-specs.html
    Nevertheless, I believe that there are many people in this forum using LR4 with Windows Vista. Perhaps one of them will speak up.

  • Downloading Lightroom with Windows Vista

    Can I download Lightroom 5.5 with Windows Vista?

    Downloading LR 5.3 isn't a problem, but running it will be, as it isn't supported. You could take a look at this http://www.doerg.es/doku.php?id=start:computer:lightroom5vista. I would point out that it is not supported by Adobe.

  • Problems printing smaller sizes in Lightroom 1.4 Windows Vista-64bit, R800

    Hi All,
    I am having problems printing smaller sizes in Lightroom v1.4, WIndows Vista-64 bit, on an Epson R800 (driver version 6.5cAs, the latest one) . When I try to set the printer settings in both the page set up and the printer setup, it displays as 5X7, but somehow when it actually goes to print, the print dialogue box reverts back to 8.5 X11. I can print 5X7 in CS3 with no problems on the same machine. The prints coming from light room look ok, they are just the wrong size for the page. Some how it appears that lightroom is not able to change the printing size defaults from 8.5X11. The prints in lightroom are fine as long as I use 8.5X11 or print in CS3. Any help to fix this would be great.

    make sure your ventilation ducts are clean from dirt, Vista put lot more strain on every component of your laptop, so the temperature increase should be normal. Xp is lot less demanding on computer compoents, however it does sound like your heat ventilation fan and fins are clogged with dusts. So open up the laptop to clean away any dusts that maybe there.

    "Windows Vista is not an officially supported operating system for the release version of Lightroom 5, and it doesn't run on Windows Vista."
    Lightroom 5 requires Windows 7 or Windows 8.
    http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom/tech-specs.html
    Unofficial workarounds exist online to get Lightroom 5 running on Vista but try them at your own risk. There will be no support if anything goes wrong.

  • Website was designed with windows vista. Muse no longer supports vista, how do I transfer to another PC

    Website was designed with windows vista. Muse no longer supports vista, how do I transfer to another PC.   Muse can longer be opened without being updated and no update is available?
    thnaks

    Thanks for your response.
    I cannot find the .muse file, I have a lot of muse files but I cannot retrieve any information as they wont open in vista. when i search muse on mu comp I cannot find .muse files.
    When I right click the icon I can send files to a memory stick, about ten file folders from assets to welcome, plus muse application 382kb and muse on air 6152 kb   it is a ten page site with lots of images.
    Once I get to my windows 7 pc I copy from the memory stick and paste the files into the muse file on my c drive
    It looks like it is starting to open but stops, not recorded on tack manager as running bug muse logo freezes on screen. 

  • Recognizing an iPod with Windows Vista

    I have a new computer that came with Windows Vista. I have not been able to get iTunes to operate correctly for Windows Vista to recognize the USB connection to my iPod. Anyone have a patch or downloadable software suggestion to resolve this?

    groans
    I finally figured I had nothing to lose--I'd just downloaded a new version of Real Player, which supposedly will work with iPods and Windows Me--and I let my computer format the iPod, hoping that would let it work with Windows again. Apparently not. Now it won't turn on--it's giving me the folder-and-exclamation-point icon. Resetting it didn't help, and I can't restore it because I can't install the software to my computer in the first place.
    I suppose the only thing to do is borrow a friend's computer or something.

  • Ipod touch with windows vista

    Hi,Im looking into geting the ipod touch,but I have read that the ipod touch does not work well with windows vista. I know the new itunes 7.5 just came out. Has that version fixed the problems with the ipod? Also what are the problems the ipod touch is haveing with vista. I have windows vista 32 bit OS. Thank you very much for your help.

    Hey, yeah I have major problems syncing to Vista. The album artwork is assigned to the wrong songs or sometimes a chunk of the picture is not in the right place, some of my songs stop half way through the song then the iPod skips to the next song on the list. My movies periodically decide to crash and the only way to get past these spots is to skip ahead (which is very difficult on the iPod touch especially when the movie is long cause you dont want to miss too much) but yeah just letting you know that there ARE some issues with it not saying that yours will do the same but it might.

  • Error ~69 with Windows Vista?

    I just purchased a new Gateway with Windows Vista to replace my Dell with XP. Ever since I purchased my Gateway, I am unable to sync any iTunes purchases or material imported from CDs to my iPod 30GB. I keep receiving the ~69 message "Unable to sync to iPod. An unknown error occurred. (~69)." Following this error, the iPod only seems to sync the songs that I've recently played on my iPod when it's been disconnected from my computer.
    Is this a problem with my iPod, Vista, or some combination of the two? I do not see any songs that should be causing a problem, and my entire library synced with no problems on the Dell XP machine.

    Unfortunately, I tried every solution on the page (including restoring) and it still doesn't work. I thought the problem was because of a bad video file that iTunes warned me to delete, but that doesn't work at all.
    There has to be an issue with Vista. The iPod worked just fine on my Dell with Windows XP. As soon as I switched computers, it stopped working. What issues does iPod have with Vista?
