Win XP My Pix Screensaver and Lightroom

I have the auto screensaver set up in Win XP (SP2) that rotates through jpeg files found in the 'my documents/ my pictures' directory.
When the Lightroom folder resides in this directory, the screensaver doesn't work, reporting that there "are no pictures in this ... location." Remove the Lightroom folder and all is well again. Replace it and no screensaver pix.
One, does anyone understand why this would happen?
Two, can I change the location of the Lightroom folder? If so, do I do this by moving the library file to a new location? Can I set the new location as a default?
Thanks.

Easily done. Move the folder, and when Lightroom starts up, it splashes a screen that says it can't find it. Click on the browse button, and select the location to which you moved it.

  • I replaced PC with MACbook, can I download my Elements and Lightroom or do I need to repurchase?

    I replaced my PC which is broken and no longer usable with a new Macbook Pro.  I would like to download my Elements and Lightroom in the Mac OS version.  Can I do this or do I need to repurchase.  I just bought the Elements in August 2014 and the Lightroom in 2013.
    Thanks so much
    Teresa

    you do not need to re-purchase.  both those are cross-platform products so you just download the mac installation files and use your mac serial numbers to install on your mac.

    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,

    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).

  • Photoshop and Lightroom freezing with supported graphics card

    Good Morning,
    I'm looking for some help to correct a problem. I'm sending this request to Adobe, Asus, Corsair, and Intel. I'm a professional photographer and this is my new computer to support the Nikon D800.
    Problem:
    When working in both Photoshop (CS5) and Lightroom 4 my computer is freezing and I'm having to do a kill restart to unfreeze the computer. This is happening when doing simple processes like panting with the air brush in Photoshop.
    I have to correct this issue it is my livelihood. Which of the components do I need to replace and with what specifically?
    Computer:
    i7 3970k CPU Intel
    Asus Sabertooth X79 motherboard
    Corsair 8- 8GB for a total of 64GB of ram (un-buffered)
    Two drives both Western Digital
    Graphics card is a Adobe supported ASUS GeForce GTX570
    Windows 7 professional
    Attempted corrections:
    Up dated graphics card drivers, and  Windows, check and unchecked Open GL Draw but it freeze in both setting. Follow all of Adobe's set up guide lines. Follow the recommendations from NAPP. Had some bad sticks of ram waiting on Corsair RMA replacement. Computer has 16 GB of ram in it at the current time but the freezing characteristics are the same with 64 GB and 16 GBs of ram.
    Thank you in advance for your help,
    Mike Boatman

    I am running Win 7 Prof on a Xeon processor with 12 GB RAM. Occasionally I experience random freezes of my system but as far as I can tell neither Lr nor Photoshop are involved.
    I never found a cause since my Event Viewer does not give any error messages.
    I have searched the Win 7 forum at http://www.sevenforums.com/#windows-7-help-support
    and found this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2575077
    They say they fixed it with a hotfix but it seems it still does occur. My last freeze was on May 3, 2012.

    yes, deactivate before uninstalling.

  • Is Adobe Bridge included in my Creative Cloud Subscription. I have the Photoshop and Lightroom subscription for Mac

    Is Adobe Bridge included in my Creative Cloud Subscription. I have the Photoshop and Lightroom subscription for Mac

    Addendum: I can find this on Adobe's Acrobat DC FAQ page:
    Can I get Document Cloud services if I’m an active Creative Cloud Member?
    Yes. Many Creative Cloud plans include Acrobat Pro DC with Document Cloud services. Explore Creative Cloud plans.
    However, if I follow the link to Creative Cloud plans, there is nothing to tell me whether Acrobat Proc DC is included in any of the plans. My plan is a yearly individual at $49.99/month.

  • Keywords in Adobe Bridge CC and Lightroom 5 not working

    I recently upgraded to Adobe CC. We use Bridge and Lightroom regularly to tether while shooting, batch process and search for images. I have noticed that files I have keyworded in Bridge will randomly lose the keywords attributed with them. When we shoot tethered to lightroom we will keyword as we shoot but those keywords do not show up in Bridge. This is a huge issue for us. We have thousands of images and plan on using bridge as a tool for our designers and marketing team to search seamlessly for photos based on keywords. If they are randomly disappearing or not carrying through from Lightroom to Bridge it becomes completely unmanageable and completely out of our hands. And a completely useless tool. Any suggestions?

    Keyword list in Adobe system, bridge and lightroom, need standardizing. That's what I feel.

  • Do I need a 64 bit processor on my Mac Pro to run CS6 and Lightroom 4?

    I would like to install Adobe CS6 and Lightroom 4 on my 2008 Mac Pro but may not have the right processor to run it.  I know I will have to upgrade my OS X 10.5.8 to at least OS X 10.6.8.  The system requirements specify a Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support.  I have a Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor.  Does this mean my Mac will not run this software at all or slowly at best?  Will I only be able to use this software if I buy a new computer?
