My Adobe Lightroom 3 won't open.

I installed Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 on my computer last year. It downloaded without any problem. Only used it a couple of times. Later on when I went to use it is would not open. I decided to uninstall it and reinstall it last week. Had to do it at least 5 times. At first it wouldn't intall. It finally did, but it still won't open. I'm getting the message "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 64 bit has stopped working. A problem casued the program to stop working correctly " Can someone tell me why this might be happening? Any solutions to fix the problem would be very welcome. Thank you very much.

Hello,I once tried a trial version of Lightroom and decided to buy lightroom 3.I've search on forums and even chat with Adobe with no answer to my problem.I download the program and it's working fine on my boyfriend's side.(We are two adminstraters on my computer)When I clic to open lightroom a window appears "Lightroom-ouverture de cataloque:DSC_0738.NEF.lrcat" and I have another window at the same time from microsoft ..error...The letters and numbers I have are..
10.0.40219.325
appVer:3.6.0.10
offset:0008d6fd
ModName:msvcr100.dll
Then the program closed...I found the .lrcat file,double clic and LR still doesn't open.I saw on a french forum that I have to rename the cataloq but I still don't know how to do that.I started using a computer only five years ago and I'm not very good but I love photography and I'm sure lightroom would be fun for me.
I spend hours trying to figure it out and I don't know what to do ...I saw an answer on the forum of Adobe saying to click on the control button and open the program at the same time ...didn't work....
Is it possible that when I had the trial version I've created a catalog and this catalog(that no longer exists)gets in the new program so I can't open it anymore....I don't know what to do anymore...please can someone help me...thank you           Gisele

  • Adobe Lightroom app won't open

    I signed up for adobe cloud after my free trial of lightroom expired.  I downloaded Lightroom and Photoshop and can not get either one to open.  I can find the app on my computer, but when I try to open lightroom it goes back to the free trial start up tab asking if I want to buy lightroom?  How can I bypass that notice and start lightroom now that it is installed?

    Mtnlivin please uninstall your current installation of Photoshop Lightroom.  Once removed then please reinstall through the Creative Cloud Desktop application.  You can find more details at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.

  • Adobe Application Manager Won't Open and CC Desktop failed to install

    I am running Win 7 Ultimate. Adobe Application Manager Won't Open and CC Desktop failed to install on my computer after I signed up for Adobe CC tonight. I am currently using the CS5 suite (perpetual license) and do not want to uninstall any of the programs until I am successfully running the Adobe CC versions. The AAM gives me an error message saying that it failed to open when I select it, and the creative cloud installer fails to install. I have tried restarting my computer. Help? This is very frustrating. I am a student and use this software on a daily basis, and can't afford to not have these programs available when I need them.

  • Adobe Illustrator CS6 won't open in Mac 10.10 without Java SE 6 Runtime. Where do I get it.

    Adobe Illustrator CS6 won't open in Mac 10.10 without Java SE 6 Runtime. Where do I get it.
    I went to Jave and downloaded the latest version of Java 8 Update 31 for Mac, but it still won't open.

    dchasin,
    You may be able to get round the legacy JAVA requirement as follows:
    Create empty folders at “/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk” and “/System/Library/Java/Support/Deploy.bundle”, to make Illustrator use Jave SE 8 as it should.
    The solution was presented by Kals in post #7 here:

  • Lightroom 2 won't open

    My Lightroom 2 has been working like a champ and suddenly won't open. Sez to contact the manufacturer. Tried looking up how to uninstall and Adobe has nothing. Found on a website to just trash the application. Did that. Closed all apps. Restarted the computer. Ran MacKeeper. Restarted again. Tried reinstalling from disk but it sez "An error has occured. Contact the manufacturer." WTF? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

    In the directory where the catalog upon which you are currently opening, is a file with the catalog name and a .LOCK extension. This file is preventing LR from opening with the desired catalog.  It was likely left behind after an abnormal shutdown of Lightroom.
    Locate this file and delete it.
    Lightroom should open the catalog normally afterwards.

  • Adober Reader suddenly won't open any PDF files (Mac)

    I had an old version, I downloaded the latest one, upgraded to the newest, even tried taking that one out and downloading an older version. It doesn't matter which version I seem to have, it won't open any pdf files from the web.
    I use a Mac, and Safari. It used to always load PDF files fine, one random place said I had to update it so I did and since then, lately it'd crash and close all Safari windows when loading a PDF or trying to copy something from a PDF. The smart Mac message I have says it could be related to an Adobe Plug in. However, now it won't even load PDF files at all, it always goes to a white page. Nothing happens.
    What do I do?? I can't even save the PDF's as individual files and view then in Preview as an alternative option. It's a link online and normally would work. What happened??
    HELP!
    I have a Mac OS X Version 10.5.8
    I've always used Safari, it's Version 5.0.5 (5533.21.1 if that means anything).
    Acrobat Reader, currently an old version 9.4.0 download. BUT, I had also the 10.0.1 version which also doesn't work. When I had that 10.0.1 version and checked for updates, there was an update (.3 I think?) and I did that and that also doesn't work!
    Why did it suddenly stop working?
    What can I do to fix it ASAP?
    Only with 9.4.0 version I can go to Help and "Repair Adobe Reader Installation" - I click that and the only box I can select is "Adobe PDFViewer Safari Plugin - View, fill-in and collaborate on Adobe PDFs within Safari"  - I click continue and it tells me there's "No missing components detected. Repairs are not needed." The only option is to click "OK".
    With any newer version of Adobe Reader, under Help there is no option to "Repair Adobe Reader Installation". So... I can't even try that with a new version.
    I am at a loss for solutions. Hope someone here can help! Thanks!

    There are several things you can do. My first step would be to repair permissions. If that doesn't work log on as a different user. If all works properly then you have a corrupt preference file (most likely) or a corrupt user font installed in your user Library (less likely). If that doesn't work download Applejack. Have it repair the disk, remove all system caches and user caches. Then have it check all system and user preference files. Remove any preference files that are corrupt. Reboot and see if your system is working properly.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS6 won't open

         Around a month ago I bought the creative cloud plan. I'm paying $10 a month for Photoshop CS6. A few days ago I tried opening photoshop but it won't open. I found out that I had been using the trial the past month, even though I already bought the whole thing. A selection comes up shortly after I try to open photoshop saying "License this Software". I don't know what that means but when I click on it it asks for a serial number. When I bought the creative cloud plan it emailed me a few times confirming my order and thanking me for using creative cloud and everything, but it doesn't say a thing in any of them about a serial number. So I tried doing one last thing.
         I went to the Adobe website and went to the apps section and selected Photoshop. I hit download and the Creative Cloud App in the top right of my desktop (I think it's called the menu bar, but I'm not exactly sure) opens up but won't load. I select the apps section but there's a blue loading circle that tells me it's loading but it won't stop. I waited 30 minutes the other day and it still didn't load. And yes my internet connection has been fine lately. I tried restarting my computer, closing other apps and everything else but it still won't load. Thanks for the help guys and please ask if you have any questions about my problem.

  • Adobe Illustrator CC Won't Open

    Hello there. I recently purchased Creative Cloud (roughly 2 weeks ago) and downloaded Adobe Illustrator CC. For the past 2 weeks that I've had Adobe Illustrator, it's worked perfectly fine. But now, for no reason that I can find, it won't open. Everything else Adobe works just fine, but Illustrator won't (for whatever reason). After continuously trying, and it not working, I decided to uninstall it and reinstall it - still doesn't work. I opened up the Task Manager, and saw that it would open up in the background processes, but no matter what I do, it won't actually OPEN. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how do I fix it?
