Thanks in advance for any help

In the directory where you catalog Lightroom are stored, there is probably a file the same name as your catalog with the extension. LOCK. This file you can open your catalog. Remove this LOCK file and things should work normally.

  • IR hotsync problem: "because the port is in use by another application."

    I finally got my system operation.  Sony Clie TJ - 25 pda, Palm Desktop 4.1, Windows 7 64 bit.  Very delicate balance.  I failed to install the new software released by aceeca.  I finally got it by infrared hotsync.  Several times.

    Now, today, I get the message on the Clie: "could not start the hotsync operation because the port is in use by another application."

    I saw this thread and in fact ensure that the transfer of images using a digital camera box is unchecked.  It still does not.  The icon hotsync in the lower right part of the screen, when I check that IR is checked, nothing else is.  It still does not.

    Thoughts?  Ideas?  Suggestions?

    Cidercat I had this happen to me with bluetooth hotsync before. I listen to radio, transfer files and surf the web with bluetooth. I could solve the problem by turning off the bluetooth, then turn it back on. Sometimes a warm reboot might also work. I came across a free application for the Palm tree named NetworkDown. It closes completely all active sessions down. You type right on the icon to run it. It works on my TX.

  • I can't install service pack 3, I get an error that ntkrnlpa.exe is in use by another application

    I search on the forum and found that another user had the same problem but nobody answered.

    What happened is that I had a few viruses that my computer shuts down completely.  I have simply no money to buy or update of protection against the virus at the moment.  So, my computer crashed.  Then I had to use my system restore disks to restore my computer.  Then, after that I restored my computer now goes to the blue screen and scans files each time.  At the end of the list is a message: unable to write to the boot sector (according to me, it is said).

    Then I accidentally downloaded a virus.  He was disguised as a MS program and was called FixIt.  I couldn't get down there and he asked for credit card information.  I don't give any information and was able to use a browser to display the McAfee, then remove.  Then I used Malwarebytes to remove some other virus.  Not knowing what else to do, I tried to defrag and received an error message that my C: drive has been corrupted.

    My CD Player no longer works and my computer has problems.  I thought that if I downloaded the FixIt problem, it could solve some of the problems it is to have my computer.  It won't work because I have not installed Service Pack 3.

    When I try to intall Service Pack 3, it extracts files and brings me to setupwizard and then gets up to a certain point, and I get an error message as follows:

    c:\windows\system32\ntkrnlpa.exe file is open or in use by another application.

    I don't know what else to do.  I have everything turned off.  I tried to download and save to my desktop and it still won't work.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    When I ran Process Explorer, I have disabled this file ntkrnlpa.exe.  I couldn't tell what was using this file - but I got the Google Redirect virus, so I thought that a virus has access to this file and prevents me from doing anything.  I don't know if that was the case, it was just my guess that it was what was going on.

    It worked for me.  It temporarily disables this file and then you can install Service Pack 3.

    I received instructions on my site quietfish.ca if you want to check.

  • Logitech webcam M/N VUBE-43is in use by another application and I cannot connect to it

    I have a webcam logitech M/N VUBE-43, I used it on this computer gateway DX441S with windows vista family premium, but now I cannot CONNECT to THE CAMERA.

    The error MESSAGE IS: WEBCAM IS in USE BY ANOTHER APPLICATION! ANOTHER APPLICATION OF WINDOWS VISTA COULD INDICATE TO THIS MESSAGE, AND HOW DO I REMOVE THE BLOCK! Thank you

    Hello the South Georgia Farmer,

    If you go into the Task Manager you see all processes running that could be using the webcam, like MSN messenger or Skype? If so, then finish the process for MSN and then see if you can use your Webcam. Also other programs that may be using the Webcam can have left handles opened to the webcam.

    I check and update the webcam in Device Manager.
    -Control Panel > System Maintenance > Device Manager
    -Go to Imaging and made devices 'Logitech Camera' right click and choose "update driver software".
    -Click on "automatically search for an updated driver.
    S ' it automatically finds none, then choose 'Browse my computer for driver software' and
    "Let me pick from a list." Find your webcam version and update.
    -Restart your computer.

    Now check and see if you still get the error. If so, my next recommendation would be to contact Logitech for help.

    Please answer back with an update on this issue.

    Sincerely,
