Accidentally moved Prog. backup files - now LR does not start

After an email warned me that OneDrive ended their (mostly) unlimited backup, I bought an external hard drive of 3 t. Somehow while moving the files from my OneDrive I cut-and-paste all files Lightroom program on the hard drive and removed from my office. I tried to "undo" it is by copying the files back, but when I click on the program of LR that does nothing now other a 'loading' slider that disappears as quickly as it seems. I can't seem to find answers through Google, so I hope someone here has made a stupid mistake like that, other than me. I literally just bought this program after that my computer crashed and I lost LR3. Help.

Have you tried to reinstall LR?

Move LR program files, that would be very difficult to do what they are in the Applications folder, on a Mac, or the Program files from drive C, Windows and that it has nothing to do with your original folder a drive would not remove your catalog or in the folder LR Previews file. It would also not move or delete the user preferences or presets.

Then reinstall the program would be all right and all you have to do is open your existing LR catalog file. It of if LR did not automatically see and open the original catalog on its own file.

  • Open my laptop, now it does not start

    Hi everyone, the first time poster.

    I opened my laptop (touchsmart tm2 1070ca) to attempt to clean the keyboard and now it does not start at the top.  all the LEDs light up, but the caps lock LED flashes.  The fans and hard drive look about 2 seconds before silence, and about 10 seconds later, the laptop beeps loud and then stops.

    When I opened upward, the touchpad is detached from the motherboard. I finally get it reconnected, but it turned out to be very difficult.

    I tried the Bios recovery suggested on the support site, but it had no effect.

    any help would be massively appreciated.  no no not my laptop will really make my life difficult.

    I know this is an old thread but since there was no solution, I felt should display what has worked for me, in case someone else has this problem.

    This morning my computer refuses to start and the caps lock blinked. I've read elsewhere that a user of a model different from simply removed HP sound CD ROM and re-inserted. My laptop is a HP tm2 Tablet PC, so it doesn't have a removable CD ROM, but I was wondering if another device had become "loose". First, I removed the dongle USB for my mouse and battery and then restarted. That did not help so I forced a stop down (press the power switch.) Then, I opened the background panels and reinstall the RAM (actually happened two sticks to make sure) and removed and re-inserted the HD then restarted again. I don't know which of these factors did the trick, but it worked.

    Hope someone finds this useful info.

    Adding 2nd NIC (pci express gigabit) to DC7700p.  Now, it does not start. Can not pass boot F9 or F10 Setup Menu. Or the boot or installation menu is accessible.  Any ideas?

    Hello:

    The PCIe slot on a dc7700 usable only for a PCIe video card. If you want or need to add an additional NETWORK card, you need to add a PCI NIC.

  • I put norton on my pc and now it does not start

    I put norton on my pc and when I start the pc, the sign of the window appears but the pc does not start then. I think I have more than a secruity of the internet on the pc. I was told to start in safe mode and remove all of the programs, I have, but still have the same problem. Can anyone help please.

    Since then, you can start safe mode, run a restore of the system to a point just before the installation of Norton if possible.

  • I deleted my files, now LR3 does not open. Just get a box for the recent catalog. How to fix?

    I've got LR3, which worked fine until yesterday. As he was that my complete PC, I moved almost all of my photos on an external drive folders. When I tried to start again LR3, it wouldn't work. I just get an empty box, asking me to select a catalog. I tried to uninstall and install but no change. How can I fix this please?

    He ask for your catalog files, uninstalling / reinstalling does nothing in this respect. You probably just move to your external drive as well as the image source files. Restore it.

  • I downloaded an update and restarted my computer, received the blue screen of death shortly after the computer restarts. Now it does not start

    I don't know when the downloaded update, the computer has been restarted on September 10, 2010 to install updates. Shortlyl once the computer is restarted, I got the blue screen of death.  with the details of error like:

    Stop 0 x 000000050 (0 x 000000000000000, 0xFFFFF88001DCAE4, 0xFFFFF8A00B490027, 0 x 00000000000002) do not know if the number of zeros is exactly right in one of those, but it's super frustrating.

    I tried to restart my computer in repair as recommended (get blue screen of death), I tried to reboot normally, loop just restart procedures asking if I want to restart in repair mode.  I tried SafeMode (BSOD), I tried to restart with last working restart (restart loops), I tried to choose the "Computer repair" BSOD I tried a diagnosis and all past.

    Help!

    Thank you.

    So yes actually hear nothing helped me.  Seems that, given that the computer is not stopped correctly and my hard drive was not recognized there starting the cycle upward or give me the BSOD.  Put it in my Ubuntu CD spare which I've had since my last PC hard drive became corrupt and force back across my hard drive.  After doing this, I was able to do a boot repair, who led for the BSOD.  Not sure how that actually fixed, lost about 10 hours of my day.  So I guess I can chalk up to Microsoft and a reminder on why I should buy Mac for now on... an update shouldn't really cause such problems.

    I get that not everyone has the same PC, so it is difficult to tell if an update is bad, but he should not do this and if an update is the cause of a certain segment of consumers who are updating must be taken down for everyone, or at least the users with the configuration that is known to have problems with an update.

    Problem is solved, had to go back to a previous version of good boot where I have not install updates again.  Now, I'm trying to understand who was was bad, so I can leave my computer knows to ignore.

    Nice day.

  • Update of Firefox does not, so I re-installed. Now firefox does not start at all?

    Yes firefox, I started one morning, and I saw that it has been updated. After waiting, the notification saying "firefox is updated" crashed so I had to shut it down. When I started firefox again, he stated that the update failed, but less than a second after that notification skipped upward, it crashed also. He continued doing this, so I followed some instructions on the internet, re-installed firefox (without deleting the data of a personal nature), but now, firefox won't start at all!

    Now what?

    Unfortunately, I never submitted before incident reports, so the folder does not exist in my computer

    But the good news is that I tried running in windows safe mode, and it worked, then after returning to normal windows, it did not work. After waiting a while, now it works again, so I guess this can be considered resolved now

  • I reinstalled Deamweaver and now it does not start

    Hello

    I had to reinstall Dreamweaver and I did.


    But now, there is an incorrect entry point problem.

    How to fix this?

    Thank you

    Serge

    Entry point errors mean your system does not meet the requirements, or a system DLL is missing. Since you seem to have had this job before, be sure to install all the updates and also ensure that the MSVC 2008/2009/2010 Microsoft runtimes are installed correctly. Install the manualyl, if necessary.

    Original title: can't get to start-up computor!

    I have a Toshiba laptop that won't not start when turned on. I have a windows vista 32 bit operating system. I recently purchased Defender pro 15-1 the anti-virus software and installed on the pc. After installation I tried to restart the pc, it would not pull up windows and it flashes just microsoft icon. I have tried F12 to restart to set the default values always nothing. What can I do to my pc?

    Hello

    Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
    launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
    reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leaving Standard, Web, and
    Operation of the network.

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
    right of IE)

    Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x

    Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
    Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
    Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
    Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
    disabled - click OK
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

    Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
    and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
    Finish those you don't use).
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
    programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
    or use Google to see how to remove.
    http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
    http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

    PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
    would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
    (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
    never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  • I had a loss of power, and now Firefox does not start on my XinXP machine. In the process of list is firefox.exe, but no window always opens

    I have Firefox and Thunderbird - both Act the same. When I double click on the exe icon, a process starts, visible in the Task Manager, but no application ever does appear, in applications, or no appaears window. Both worked earlier today.

    Tried the checkdisk - no help.

    I uninstalled (in safe mode because the uninstall program wouldn't work either) of the software of the printer, and then reinstalled as.

    After that, thunderbird and firefox have both worked very well. Part of Windows must have got dirty up/stuck by being apparently corrupted printing software. Printer icon never showed up. Firefox and Thunderbird must have tried to read printer data at startup and hung out to dry...
