Have a problem with Lightroom 5.4. Given that the program crashed yesterday, will not start, it comes up with the message "Lightroom has encountered an error when reading the preview cache and need to quit." "Lightroom will attempt to solve this problem, the next time he throws." Except that it isn't, I get the same message and the program closes. Anyone know what I can do to fix it? Can not backup, can't do anything.
There are dozens of discussions in this forum that describe the fix

Whenever I try to launch my 6 Lightroom, it says there "has encountered an error in its cache of the preview reading and needs to stop smoking". How can I fix?
Hi aubreyfrances,
Seems that your preview cache has become corrupted.
You must go to the same place where your catalog is stored and get rid of Previews.lrdata (not .lrcat) file
Then, launch Lightroom and check.

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.

Lightroom has encountered an error when reading the preview cache and needs to stop smoking. Help, please
Hi crystalc,
It seems that the preview cache has become corrupted.
You must go to the location where your catalog is stored via finder/File Explorer and get rid of the file ending with Previews.lrdata (not .lrcat)
Default location of the catalog is under Pictures\Lightroom

"Lightroom encountered and error while reading its preview cache and needs to stop smoking.
Earlier today when you import a session the computer froze. After manually shut down and restart I get this error every time I open LR, "Lightroom encountered and error during playback of sound preview cache and need to stop smoking" and the application does not open. He said LR would try and correct this error the next time I opened it, but the error remains. Help please!
Rename the folder "Lightroom 5 catalog Previews.lrdata" to "Lightroom 5 catalog Previews.lrdata.old"
Thank you

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.

What's wrong? What should I do?
With the help of your browser in the system, open your Lightroom Catalog folder. There will be a file with the extension .lrdata. You must remove this folder, then you can start Lightroom and Lightroom will start construction of a new folder of previews.

Lightroom has encountered an error when reading a catalog file and must stop smoking.
Since I installed Snow Leopard, I get this error. LR restarts and the catalogue is very well, but I let him turn and come back an hour later and there is the same error.
I checked the file system on my USB key and it is fine. It's a whole new catalog that I created to export a former. I've never had this problem before.
Sorry if this is a double post, I can't seem to find the original post, I thought I did.

Your drive eSata connection should be just fine - if this copy is fine. If you can d/l through which images in a folder on internally, which would be faster and safer than other methods via a USB port. I don't think that LR cares about the type of connection, but the operating system don't you...

This persisted for 2 days and it has not set itself. help please.
Click OK close Lightroom.
You must manually go to the location of your Lightroom by Finder catalogue / file Explorer and get rid of the Previews.lrdata folder
By default, the location would be in Pictures\Lightroom folder

I get a message saying Lightroom met an erorr when reading the preview cache and need to stop smoking. Then told that Lightroom will try to solve the problem the next time it starts. Never tried to uninstall and reinstall but no good.
Sound familiar to anyone?
Hello
Please go to the save location of the Lightroom Catalog and here please delete the Lightroom Catalog Previews.lrdata folder.
Now please open Lightroom and check if it works.
Please let us know if it helps.
Kind regards

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.
"LR has encountered an error when reading the preview cache and needs to stop smoking. Lightroom will attempt to solve this problem, the next time it starts. »
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.
