Lightroom freezing at splash screen

Power Mac G5 Number Of CPUs:2 2 GHz L2 Cache (per CPU):512 KB Memory:3 GB Bus Speed:1 GHz
OS X10.4.9
Hi all,
I have been running LR as a beta for a year - installed full program since it was available. Really happy - running great. Installed Indesign CS2 about 3 weeks ago - Everything still fine. I had a long 5 day session just using IDesign, Photoshop (CS) and Bridge and LR only once - all went well. Went to use LR today (without other programs) and it freezes at Start up.
Have seen similar topic in forum and tried all suggested fixes - no go. Set up a different user and and LR launches but not with original database.
I have dumped prefs for LR, ID,PS and Bridge (in original user account) - all re- launch fine except LR. Have also dumped LR registration - it lets me re register then freezes at screen.
Have also repaired permissions & rebuilt with Disk Warrior.
Has anyone experienced this and found a solution.
Thanks for any help
Paul Foley

Have you been doing the LR dB backups? does the most recent back-up work.
Just double click the back-up or Option-click start LR for a choose dB dialogue and choose the bback-up.

Lightroom CC freezes on splash screen

I've seen lots of posts about Lightroom CC crashing, but my problem seems to be different.
I installed Lightroom CC through the CC app. When I launch the app, it asks me to update my catalog. After the "Updating Catalog" dialog finishes, it launches Lightroom, my catalog appears in the background and then it freezes on the splash screen. If I click anywhere, it goes black behind the splash screen and the program says it's Not Responding. Here's what I've tried:
- waited a really long time to see if it was actually doing something
- restarted computer
- uninstalled and reinstalled Lightroom CC (on a different hard drive)
- quit creative cloud app and relaunched
- logged out (via preferences) and logged back into creative cloud
- started a new catalog instead of updating a current catalog
- reset/trash preferences
No matter what I do, it freezes on the splash screen. Can anyone help?
I'm using Windows 8.

Hi, first of all excuse me about my Englis.
I had the same type of problem you described! The program, after a logged out and logged back in in the creative cloud desktop app, just freezes.
I did this way and it now works properly:
- I make sure I just have my older catalog plus the preview file in one folder
- I lunch Lightroom and when the upgrade dialogue box appears I created a new catalog (choose desktop as destination so it is easy to find later) and click ok
- At this point you should be inside Lightroom with an empty catalog
- from the pull down menu under "Lightroom" (on Mac, on Windows I guess it should be under "File") choose: "open differe catalog" and on the next window look for your old catalog"
- Lightroom should tell you that the catalog needs to be upgrade and after you confirm and after the catalog conversion process ends you should be inside Lightroom with your old catalog upgraded and working
- next time you start Lightroom it should be working as expected.
- delete the folder Lightroom created on the desktop for the new catalog you created before.
bye!

Tecra M5 freezes at splash screen on startup (post Safeguard Easy Install)

Since installing Safeguard Easy disk encryption, my M5 freezes at the initial Toshiba splash screen. Pressing Ctrl - Alt - Delete gets passed this and onto the Safeguard password screen.
It seems there is a BIOS patch for the Satellite Pro series but I'm not seeing anything for the Tecra, or indeed Tecra M5.
Any advice appreciated.

This is because of Vista bios support for fastboot.
There is a new version of utimaco released that fixes this bug.

Photoshop CS6 freezes before splash screen (Mavericks)

13-inch MacBook Pro 2012 (June), 2.9GHz i7, 8GB of Apple RAM (no third-party RAM), 750GB drive, non-Retina display, OS X 10.9.1. In use for over a year under 10.8.x.
Creative Suite CS6 Production Premium (Academic License) installed. Upgraded from 10.8.5 where Photoshop CS6 ran successfully until upgrading to 10.9. Upgrading to 10.9.1 didn't help. Reverting to 10.8.5 fixes things. Adobe Drive has never been installed. Lightroom 4 is installed. Trial of InDesign CC is installed, and it was installed under 10.8.5, too.
Only Photoshop CS6 is affected; other CS6 apps in the suite work fine under 10.9.x. After upgrading to 10.9, Photoshop CS6 will work for maybe a day, then it will launch with a menu bar and menu choices, but none of them work. The Photoshop CS6 splash screen never appears.
It appears to be OS X user-account related. If a new OS X user is created, Photoshop CS6 works.
CS6 suite has been removed and reinstalled; no positive effect. Adobe's CS6 uninstaller has been downloaded and CS6 suite reinstalled; no positive effect. Photoshop .plist file has been deleted; no positive effect.
Any help appreciated! Thanks!

Because Photoshop will launch successfully with a different OS X user account, can someone suggest which specific Console log(s) in both accounts to investigate (or search for the existence of) that may help diagnose why Photoshop won't launch?
Additional behavior:
In the problematic account, Photoshop starts to launch, and its menus appear. Many menus are black, but when you select a menu choice (such as Photoshop > About Photoshop or File > Open), then all Photoshop menus and choices gray out. Then you have to force quit Photoshop.
However, if you first (while menu choices are still black) choose File > Open in Bridge CS6 (or words to that effect), then Bridge will open.
Thanks.

Encore CS3 Freezing at Splash Screen

I apologize in advance if this question has already been asked and answered. I searched the forums, but I did not see this exact problem addressed. Here is my situation:
(1) I have the latest version of Encore CS3 (v3.0.1.008) installed, and it was previously working on my system (Dell/Intel Core Duo, Windows XP).
(2) Now when I try to start Encore CS3, it fails to load, freezing on the splash screen while attempting to load "DXCaptureSource.dll". However the program does not crash - it just remains frozen.
(3) I have Encore installed as a component of the CS3 Master Collection
(4) I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Encore to no avail
(5) I have already tried launching Encore with Version Cue running (both with and without the tray icon being displayed). This has had no effect on the problem.
(6) This seems like it could be a plug-in problem, but I have not added any plug-ins to Encore and do not use 3rd party plug-ins with any Adobe product.
(7) I had Nero Ultra Edition 7 installed on my PC and have since removed it. This may have been removed around the same time that Encore stopped working, but I do not know this for sure.
If anyone has an idea about what might be causing this issue or how to fix it, I would greatly appreciate the help. I am hoping to have this issue resolved quickly, as I have to work on authoring a DVD this weekend. Thanks in advance.

It's amazing, how often one small change or program install "here" makes something stop working over "there"
Now that everything is working again, you might want to think about making a full backup of your drive to an external USB drive
The program I use is mentioned at http://www.pacifier.com/~jtsmith/ADOBE.HTM#SmartOwn
This is not a Windoze restore point... this is a full drive image

Toshiba C675-S7200 Stuck on Toshiba Splash Screen

When trying to boot the laptop up it freezes as the "Toshiba Inspiring Innovation" spasl screen... I removed the HDD and it will boot up into the BIOS, however when I reconnect the HDD it refuses to boot up past the screen again, nor will it show the BIOS while the HDD is plugged in, any suggestions?

Have you tried plugging another hdd?
Maybe yours is malfunctioning and that's why it freezes at splash screen, remember that BIOS check all devices before starting.

BLACK SCREEN on start up with 3 beeps, FREEZES when power unplugged, IF IT BOOTS splash screen freezes, OVERHEATING REQUIRED TO BOOT - 0x7B, Event 41 kernel-power

Issue: One day I unplug the power, the screen freezes and I get frozen music sound. I shut down, start up, I get 3 beeps (1 short 2 long), which indicates a Video failure according to the Thinkpad Laptop beep code list.
How I solve the issue day-to-day: I turn the heat up - I disconnect the battery and hard drive and plug in the power then turn it on. I will wait until the underneath is searing hot with a blanket blocking the fan's flow of air, I mean way hot because any
cooler and it won't start. Plug stuff back in, Hard drive first, Battery second, turn off with power button hold, unplug power, replug power.
I turn it on, no beeps, it goes past the first Lenovo screen, then gives me a prompt because it "didn't shut down properly" and continue regular startup. What happens next is the Windows logo appears,
and just as the animated windows logo starts to move (you see 2 small colored dots on the screen), it freezes. I see this every time, I know naturally that it means that the laptop is still too hot to go past that point, so I shut it down and try again. After
about 5 - 10 tries it will go past the splash screen and into the login area, then it's all fine.
Sometimes when I unplug the power from the back by accident it will freeze. By accident I mean that the connector wiggles it's self out easily. This unplug freezing thing started happening about 1 week before the 3 beep black screen problem started rolling,
so I'm putting 2 together.
Errors:
I got a Blue Screen of Death the first time I started it up with the overheating ritual, but I never got it since. It was 0X7B.
I got another Blue Screen of Death about a week ago, but came as it was on already and I had been using it, and said something about disabling Cache or Shadowing in BIOS. I never got it since.
Event Viewer events found:
1. Kernel-Power, Summary page.
There are critical events for a few things like Kernel-Power, Event ID 41, Task Category (63). There are 19 of them, each day 1 or 2 of them but mostly 1, so this maybe corresponds to my daily ritual.
"The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."
2. Kernel-Processor-Power - Event ID 37, task category (7)

3. LMS - HCMI - Event ID 2, Task Category: none
"LMS Service cannot connect to HECI driver".
I came across a very sluggish performing control panel for Nvidia before and after this problem, and I tried installing a newer version, which I had to jump through a few hoops to do, like uninstalling first, not just updating. At first it said that the
driver wasnt for the system, which was wrong. I made it work somehow, but it was still sluggish. I rolled it back to an earlier driver, and now it works fine. No sluggish performance / slight freeze window thing going on.
MSCONFIG.exe, Boot Advanced Options: I have tried twice to change this 1 setting, check box "Number of processors" and change to 2 processors, because I do have 2 processors. I have been able to change
this in the past, but it does not save the setting now, and I believe this option was selected before I started having problems, and settings did not disappear then.
What could this be. The small round BIOS battery? The video card like everyone presumes? (I.E. the entire motherboard replacement), Software? The wiggly power input area? (Not enough power getting in?), Firmware of some sort? The BIOS software being wrong?

Lightroom won't boot -I only get the splash screen for a second.

I do have the photographers version of the Creative Cloud which included Photoshop CC 2014 and Lightroom. Everything was working just fine until I upgraded to Lightroom version 5.6. Now when I try to load LR, the slash screen shows for a second then disappears and LR does not load. This occurs on both my Mac (a Mac Pro and a iMac). I uninstalled LR and had creative cloud reinstall but still the same thing is happening - Splash screen for a second then nothing. Again, this is happening on both Mac's. Photoshop CC 2014 I working just fine.
Before I call Adobe, any ideas here on this issue. BTW, Creative Cloud App states LR in up to date and installed.
Thanks
James

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended freezes on startup under Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit - No splash screen

I installed my licensed copy of Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended today as part of my install a bunch of software after a reinstall of Windows (due to viruses). I did a completely fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I've used Photoshop CS3 Extended for quite a while now so I know what to expect on startup but it was previously installed under Windows XP Professional (32-bit). Figured I would give Windows 7 a chance this time around.
Google searches aren't turning up anything. When I attempt to start the application, I get a window with the title "Adobe Photoshop CS3" (no "Extended" - I seem to recall the title changes later) and the toolbar appears. However, no splash screen appears and no Product Activation wizard appears - the application simply freezes on an empty frame and a toolbar. I've tried running Photoshop as Administrator (right-click, "Run As Administrator"), but nothing changed there. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I tried upgrading to CS3 10.0.1. Nothing works. The application simply freezes before it gets anywhere.
I tried calling Adobe Support since this technically falls under installation issues but their phone support systems are down today. Go figure.
Edit: I hooked into Photoshop with the Visual Studio debugger and every single thread is executing some variation of WaitForSingleObject() or WaitForMultipleObjects(). The main thread is "executing" somewhere in AdobeLM_libFNP.dll (at address 09619d81 - if I had debugging symbols for CS3, I could provide a function). There are nine threads "running" at the point the freeze occurs - but all of them are technically suspended due to the functions they are executing - and one thread is in a suspended state.

And, according to the Event Viewer, the "Binary" data translates to a zero-terminated Unicode string of "Cross-thread".
My Visual Studio analysis was far more informative. All threads are hung inside of WaitForSingleObject() and WaitForMultipleObjects() calls and the DLL in question appears to be FlexNet-related. I did forget to mention that I also even manually started the FlexNet service in case, for some strange reason, Photoshop was waiting for it to start. That also did not work.
(And there is nothing in the Action Center control panel either despite the message saying there might be more information there.)
Edit: The timestamp above might be a little odd-looking. I didn't originally see anything in Event Viewer until I clicked the first button to send an Error Report. Mostly I just skipped that part of killing a process.

NB200 freezes at Toshiba splash screen.

Hi,
I have an NB200-11L that's been sitting around with an annoying problem for a while now.
When I power on the laptop it freezes at the 'Toshiba - leading innovation' BIOS splash screen and goes no further.
I get the same problem with or without AC power
I've tried replacing the HDD but still get the problem.
With no HDD in the system it tries to boot from the network & also allows me access to the BIOS (currently version 1.20)
Anyone else had issues like this & been able to resolve it ?
Thanks in advance :)
Chris

Few days ago I saw the same problem on my friends Satellite A205 (US model). After removing HDD I was able to enter BIOS settings.
Ive set BIOS to default settings, replaced the HDD with new one and now everything works perfectly.
HDD was defective and obviously HDD identification by BIOS has blocked the whole system.
I recommend you to obtain new HDD and do the same.

Muse CC freezes at the first splash screen

I have never seen what Muse interface looks like. Whenever I tried to launch it, it tried to update and update failed all the time. However, recently I switched off my zone alarm firewall and was able to install the updates. Now Muse cc splash screen shows up, prompts me to sign in but after I sign in, nothing happens. The splash screen freezes. Interestingly, in my creative cloud app, Muse is listed in the not-installed application section but shows 'up-to-date', and there's no cc appears after Muse. My installed application secton has no Muse icon either! I chated to the help desk and tried deleting MBLStore and OODB folder, uninstalling program and re-installing from latest_win exe file with no success. I am using Windows 7 pro 64 bit in my macbook pro retina's bootcamp drive. Can anyone suggest what else I should try?

Hi Sachin,
I created another account with administrative right and Muse worked perfectly after apdating itself. Now, it is not possible for me to log in to that account everytime I use muse. If it is a confirmed permission issue, then can you please tell me how to set up right permission level so that Muse works regardless of any account?
Also the status of Muse displayed in my CC app doesn't feel right. It is showing up in the app list that I didn't install yet with an 'up to date' icon. Moreover, although everytime I launch Muse, Muse CC opens but for unknown reason, my CC app shows only Adobe Muse, not CC. May be there's something wrong with my CC app as well?

BLACK SCREEN startup with 3 beeps, FREEZES when unplugged, Splash screen freeze, HEAT-UP TO BOOT

BLACK SCREEN startup with 3 beeps, FREEZES when power unplugged, IF IT BOOTS splash screen freezes, OVERHEATING REQUIRED TO BOOT - 0x7B, Event 41 kernel-powe

I'd beg to differ on both accounts.
*61 series nVidia-based ThinkPads from late January through July of 2008 are a 50/50 shot, since the old chips were mixed with the new ones. Any machine built in August and later can be deemed "safe".
As for the forums (I don't do feebay) there are people who sell genuine, properly-tested planars. However, these do not come at bargain basement prices, and with a good reason if I may add.
Good luck.
