Lightroom 6 not opening


Recommended Posts

Advertisement (gone after registration)

This morning I was happily using Lightroom 6 and then closed it while I did other things.

 

Now, when I try to open it, it doesn't do so. It gets as far as the start-up screen and 'golden trees' image and then freezes - 'not responding' appears at the top and in Task Manager.

 

I've checked the Adobe product forums but there's no clue.

 

Any ideas?

Thanks, Jaap.

 

After further tedious searching, I found an update page on Adobe's site http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2013/06/keeping-lightroom-up-to-date.html. I took a chance and installed the most recent (6.6/2015.6) version and, miraculously, I can now open LR and the catalog. (Unfortunately, Adobe seem to think that users will update from an already-open program. In my case I couldn't, nor could I find the version of LR already installed :angry:)

 

If this hadn't worked, I suppose I would have had to uninstall and reinstall :(

 

Now keeping my fingers crossed when I close the program again later.

 

 

P.S. Token image in appreciation attached (M Typ 240 + 18mm Super Elmar Asph ISO800)
