The LR 2.6 has worked for months. Now every installation tells me it's expired!

I've used LR 2.6 since it was released. Last week, it told me:
"This Beta version of Lightroom has expired. The application will now quit. " Sure enough, it did!
Rebooting; uninstalling and reinstalling from Adobe site produced same result. I am obsessive enough that each option was tried many times, with, naturally, same results.
Pc is HP Pavillion Media Center m8034n TV PC.
I realize if I hold my breath for a month the'real' one will issue. However, SOMETHING, caused this experience. If it's fixable now, I won't have to worry later.

A solution, inelegant for sure, but so far LR2.6 works.
uninstall LR2.6
start System Restore on the install line as far back as possible
download a 'fresh' LR2.6 from Adobe and install.
Reboot.
It works .Your solution showed a much better command of the code detail than I will ever have! Thank you for the promptness and thoughtfulness you showed.
[Though,I must assert historical primacy here- my first IBM course was machine language for the IBM 650 nearly at the dawn of time- 1955-56!]

    Here's a positive thing: Windows viruses can't run on OS X, but they can be transferred from OS X to other PCs (only if you have them on the OS X volume).

    You could get a virus from a different source that infected Steam and Chrome without any problem. Viruses normally try to infect as many files and programmes as possible.

  • Hp8600 worked for months, now drops connection constantly

    My 8600 has worked for the best part of a year without problem, now drops connection to the extent that it is unusable. I have a mac network with an airport router, 2 macs and a PC, all of which have had perfect access until recently. I have followed the HP troubleshooting for this problem, updated the driver and the firmware (the website says updated 2014-11-10 but the file is called 2014-08-28) and tried deleting and reinstalling the driver software, but no difference.
    I see this has been a huge problem for mac and PC users alike, and I can't see a solution on the PC or mac forum which helps me.
    Grateful for assistance.

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @NeilFJ !
    I read through your issue with the connection problems you've been having with your Officejet 8600. I am responding to you, to offer my suggestion.
    I would recommend trying a static IP to see if this will help stabilize the connection. Check out this guide for the proper instructions on how to go about that.

    For some reason my PC won't recognize my iPod and iPhone when I plug them in via USB....they have worked for years, now all of a sudden I get a message stating "unknown device".  Any ideas for a fix?

    HI @madymessyy 
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    It is a terrific place to find answers.
    For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
    I understand that when you originally connected your IPhone about a year ago it was recognized properly.
    Now when you connect your IPhone nothing happens but it does charger it, (until you used the last cable.)

  • Soundtrack Pro has worked for months - suddenly it won't load

    I have been using Soundtrack Pro since I first installed Logic Studio last fall. Recently it wouldn't load. It says "the application Soundtrack Pro quit unexpectedly." I have no idea why this happened all of a sudden.
    I deleted all the plists and all the application files using Appzapper and reinstalled from the Logic Studio discs. It still doesn't open and gives the identical error message.
    I should also say that even though I told the installer to only install Sountrack Pro, it insisted on installing all the sounds and apple loops again, which took forever.
    Could this possibly have something do do with my recent upgrade from 10.5.2 to 10.5.4????

    I know the non-apple plug-in files are there because I can see them on Google Desktop. But I can't get access them in order to delete them.
    I am using Google Desktop because I haven't been able to get Spotlight to re-index (yes I know how to do it, but it hasn't worked). I'm starting to think that there is something really wrong with my computer....

  • With my i phone 4 , the Push notifications doesn't work for apps like (fb viber , whatsapp etc ) it only works for the official apps like message  even when im using the phone, has  this probleme with the iOs 6.0.1 and also with the iOs 6.1

    This isn't an issue. Notice the screen prior to the one that shows usage has an iCloud section and a Manage Storage button. For this button to activate ios needs to download a few kb from icloud. Switching back to this screen forces ios to download those few kb.

  • A barcode scanner that was connected directly to the Mac's USB port stopped working as the "USB had too much power drawn", even though it has worked for over a year in that port.  WHen we plugged it into the port on the keyboard, the device works. Why?

    A barcode scanner that was connected directly to the Mac's USB port stopped working as the "USB had too much power drawn", even though it has worked for over a year in that port.  When we plugged it into the port on the keyboard, the device works. Why?  Obviously the device is operational.  Could the USB port have burned out from having too much power drawn?  If so, is it reparable?

    It can't draw "too much" power, it can only draw as much as the USB port is able to provide and no more. IIRC, the keyboard port has a lower power output than the iMac's port.
    That being said, yea, it's possible that the port has failed and it can be replaced or if another port works you can use that one. Although if it is still under warranty or covered by Apple Care, then I would take it to an Apple Store or service provider to get the port repaired.

  • I have my FireFox browser set to delete the history when I close the window. It was working for a while and has recently just stopped with no changes to the settings.

    I have my FireFox browser set to delete all the history when I close the window. It was working for a very long time and has recently stopped with no changes to the settings. This has happened once before and I deleted FireFox and re-downloaded it, that solved the problem for a short period of time but the issue has come up again. How can I fix this?

    Can you check your configuration again? Maybe something went pear-shaped somewhere. It's located in Tools | Options | Privacy and then click the Settings button (see screenshot).

  • I also have a Belkin charger for my Ipad which worked for months. Now I get the unauthorized message but Apple sells these at its store.  What is the problem?

    My Belkin charger for my Ipad worked for months.  Suddenly, I get the "unauthorized" message. Apple even sells this brand so does anyone have a solution?

    A charger/power adaptor or USB cable?
    The iPhone doesn't require a USB cable made by Apple but the cable must be compatible and preferably include the "made for iPhone" Apple certification by the manufacturer.

  • I suddenly cannot access my aol E mail account. Says my username or password are incorrect which they are not. Has worked for ages and has now stopped. have reset the phone but the same message!! Frustrated. Martyn

    I suddenly cannot access my AOL E mail account via my iPhone. Has worked for ages. Now says username or passowrd is incorrect which it is not! Have reset the phone but still no joy. Any ideas........please! Martyn

    Is there any chance your AOL account has been hacked?  Check it to make sure your password is still what you think it is.
    Also make sure caps lock isn't on when typing your password.

  • Requested auto spell check not worked for months - gmail uses Firefox's

    Tools Advanced setting is on auto spell check but has not worked for months - yes it had worked, probably for years. Looking at gmail for an auto spell checker I see that it leaves that to one's browser - Firefox.

    Your More system details list doesn't show the en-GB dictionary.
    If you do not have the en-US locale then check that you have a dictionary installed (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and selected.
    You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.<br />
    Also make sure that [X]"Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu has a tick.<br />
    You can also try to toggle the "Check Spelling" item off and on again.
