At startup, LR 4.4 cannot read the preview cache and stops
Can't open LR 4.4. Get LR error message cannot read the preview cache and needs to close. Says he will try to repair to the stimulus. That happened after that laptop battery so closed that I was in LR.
Do you this for your operating system, using the Explorer or Finder, without LR running. You must delete the FOLDER that is located in the same folder as your LR catalog, but with a name starting with the same name as your catalog but then including a Previews.lrdata suffix.

I get the preview of a file has been corrupted somehow. Is it possible to fix this without having to build a new catalog?
Use Windows Explorer to open the folder containing your catalog. You will see a folder with the extension .lrdata. You must remove this folder, and then restart the Lightroom. Lightroom will generate a new folder of previews.

LR has encountered an error when reading the preview cache and needs to stop smoking.
I have the trial version of Lightroom 30 days. I was able to use it for a week, but the last weeks of 1,5 to 2, it was locked up and that gives this error message. How to solve the problem? And how to reset the free 30 day trial? I wish I had the time using the product before deciding on the annual contract.

Thank you.
Delete the cache of the overview of the Lightroom folder in your pictures folder if you used the default location. It has the extension .lrdata.
You cannot reset the trial period.

OK, go to the Lightroom folder (in images by default) and delete the folder/file ending with the extension.lrdata. Previews have somehow become corrupt.

Anybody out there can help get LR works again.
Open LR 5 I see message "Lightroom has encountered an error in its cache of the preview reading and needs to stop smoking". I deleted the folder Preview Cache completely (saved). This does not solve the problem. What can I do next to load Lightroom?
If you remove the preview cache folder and the problem persists, then most likely you have found the wrong preview cache (it's for a different catalog previews) and you must find the right cache overview. You should use the search function of your operating system to find all files whose name ends with Previews.LRDATA and remove each of them until you can open your Lightroom Catalog.

Can I get an explanation of what past?
You must remove the preview Cache.
It is located in the same folder as the catalog in Lightroom. The name of the cache an extract ends with Previews.LRDATA and should be deleted. Not to be confused with *. LRCAT, which should not be deleted.
