Windows installed an update and now Lightroom 5 keeps showing an error message and then closes.

Windows updated and now  when I try to open Lightroom it gives me a message that says "Lightroom encountered an error when reading it's preview cache and will try again when restarted"  Restarting it does no good at all.

The problem you are experiencing is not related to a Windows update. The preview cache has become corrupted. You need to use Windows Explorer or Finder to open the folder that contains your catalog. Locate the folder that has the extension .lrdata and delete that entire folder. Then start Lightroom as you normally do. Lightroom will be in building a new preview folder and you should be able to continue normally.
I don't know the reason, but quite a few people have experienced this same issue. Take a look at the "more like this" list to the right of this message. It is more common than you might expect.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • I just did the recent upgrade and now I keep getting an error message when I try to open a book on my Kindle app, I have deregistered the app and reloaded and the same thing happens, does anyone know how to fix?

    I just did the recent upgrade and now I keep getting an error message when I try to open a book on my Kindle app, I have deregistered the app and reloaded and the same thing happens, does anyone know how to fix?

    You are seeing the message because the new AirPort Extreme has some specific System Requirements:
    http://www.apple.com/airport-extreme/specs/
    Setup and Administration
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3
    AirPort Utility 5.6.1 in Snow Leopard may or may not work correctly with the new Extreme for all functions. As long as things are working OK for now, you can probably leave them "as is" and wait for another Mavericks update to fix some issues before you "upgrade".
    If you have an iPhone or iPad, you could use that to administer any settings changes on the new Extreme.

  • My iPhone keeps showing an error message and the external speaker wont work

    Ok I have had my iPhone 3GS about 3 months now and recently it has started showing an error message "This accessory is not optimized for this iPhone, you may experience noise caused by mobile interference and a decrease in mobile strength". The external speaker will not work either, the only sound it will produce is the ringtone. Any other sound, message tone, sounds from apps, songs on my ipod, sounds from videos, will not be produced! Although when i plug the head phones in the sound will work for everything and then this error message will come up again and the sound will stop working. It's like the phone thinks it is plugged into a docking system or something. Also the phone will lose signal for long periods of time and sometimes not come back unless i restore the phone. I have tried EVERYTHING and nothing has worked, can anyone help me please?

    Or you can try what lots of other people have found, and thats that the base connector is dirty and the contacts are shorted by some debris.
    The Apple store guys are good at cleaning them out - if you do it yourself, do not use any liquids at all.

  • My computer powered off during factory reset, and now I keep getting this error message.

    Error: F3-F100-0005.
    And then I have to turn off the computer.
    Before that I was getting this error: "Windows could not finish configuring system. To attempt to resume configuration, restart the computer." And I kept restarting it, about 5 times total, then decided to just reset to factory settings.
    Whenever I reboot, it keeps automatically going to "Loading Files", then this error message. I have tried the advice found here:
    http://laptopforums.toshiba.com/t5/System-Recovery-and-Recovery/System-Failure-and-NOTHING-Fixes-it/... but it's not working.
    Please help?

    Some laptops do not come with a recovery disc because they have hidden partition for the recovery.

  • Microsoft Excel and Word keeps showing an error message and shutting down

    Please help!
    Microsoft Office - Home and Student 2013 on a Windows 8 laptop (Acer Aspire V5)
    I keep trying to open Microsoft Excel and if I try and open an existing document or create a new one I get a message "Microsoft Excel has detected a problem". After a moment I then get the message "Microsoft Excel has stopped working - A problem
    has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". I have tried the usual, shut down and start again, uninstalled and installed office again, been on the control panel in programs
    and clicked on changes. its been through the Microsoft update 4 times now and it still isn't working.
    Any ideas please.

    Hi
    Did the issue still occur when you close your antivirus software?
    Try opening word or excel in safe mode.
    Click Win+R, type winword /safe or
    excel /safe.
    Go to file>options>add-ins and select
    COM add-ins, uncheck the add-ins.  
    If it doesn’t work, we recommend you check the issue in clean-boot,
    For detailed information about clean-boot, refer to the following link:

  • I just reinstalled my PS7 onto a new computer, Vista, and now I keep getting an error message which says "photoshopelementssyncagent.exe-no disk.  I turned off Firewall, allowed Firewall to let in program and nothing works.  I can't even get into

    photoshop at all with this.  I am about ready to get rid of this stupid program!  Does anyone know how to fix this?  Does this not work with Vista?

    Attached is Dennis Linam’s Audition – “Log File” and “Log – Last File”
    Contact information Dennis [email protected]
    Previous contact information with your organization (DURIM):
    Dennis - i just finished my audition trial and bought the subscription the 2014 version.
    created by durin in Audition CS5.5, CS6 & CC - View the full discussion 
    DURIM - Okay.  I would expect the "Cache Warning" message because your default directories would not be the same as the ones in the settings file I generated.
    If you go back to the "7.0" directory and open the "Logs" folder, can you copy the "Audition Log.txt" file and send it as an attachment to [email protected]?  We'll take a look in that logfile and see if it gives us more information about why this is failing now.
    Also, do you have any other Adobe applications installed on this machine, such as Premiere Pro?  If so, do they launch as expected or fail as well?
    I do have the trial Pro version of Adobe reader, but I have not activated it, because I fear the same thing will happen did it. I cannot afford to activate the subscription for that product and take the chance of it not working either. I depend on those two programs religiously. Here is the files that you requested. I appreciate any help you can give me to get this audition program started

    It sounds a lot like your phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it prior to your trying to update it.
