Lightroom does not open, says it is open in another application.
Depending on your operating system, use Windows Explorer or the Finder to open the folder containing your catalog. In this folder, you will find a file with the same name as your catalog, but with .lock extension. This file should be deleted, and then you will be able to start Lightroom.

Probably a "fix" easier and more uniform would be to reset the preferences file. See this thread (post #6 provides details on how to reset the preferences file):

How can I fix it?
Hi melotam,
It seems that something in your preview cache has been altered. No worries - you can delete preview cache and Lightroom are going to rebuild it, even if it may take some time, depending on the size of your catalog.
To remove the preview cache, follow these steps:
1. quit Lightroom.
2. in your operating system, look for your Lightroom Catalog. Catalogs are generally/Pictures/Lightroom on Mac and my Pictures\Lightroom on Windows.
3. Locate the folder whose name ends in "Previews.lrdata" and delete it. (note, may you enjoy a folder whose name ends with "Smart Previews.lrdata." You shouldn't need to remove that one).
Once the preview folder is deleted, restart Lightroom. You can see gray thumbnails in the grid for a few moments that Lightroom starts to rebuild your preview cache.
Let us know if that helps.
Kind regards

Lightroom is more lance - gets stuck at the opening and windows 10 says "does not.
My Lightroom lance app is more properly on my new windows 10 PC. The application launches for a while and then crashes with the message "not responding" and the infinite blue circle rotation. I had uninstalled the software and re-installed the first time I had this experience, and it has actually worked properly. However, a day later and after a restart, the application is to bog down. How can I solve this problem?

Hi korrinr,
It seems to be a problem with the preview cache.
Navigate to the location of your Lightroom catalog via finder/File Explorer and get rid of the Previews.lrdata folder suggest you (do not delete the .lrcat file)
Kind regards

Help! My Lightroom does not open!
My Lightroom does not. I just get a message that says: "cannot open the catalog Lightroom called"Lightroom 5 Catalogue"because another application already opened it." The catalog is not open.
My computer crashed and now it does not open.
With the help of your browser in the system (Windows Explorer or Finder), open the folder containing your catalog and search for a file with the extension .lock. You must remove this file and then Lightroom will start normally. The file will have the same name as the catalog you have used, but it will have the different extension. Delete only the file with the extension .lock.

Firefox does not open, says not responding do not
Originally, I was annoyed that Firefox saves tabs when I closed. So I tried clicking clear history on close. Now, it will not open at all. I tried to reinstall but still when I try to open it, it does not load anything and finally says not responding do not.
From what I've read other posts on this forum, the
problem may be caused by the settings to erase history. It's supposed to
to have been fixed in v30.Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}
Type of topic: preferences in the address bar and press on Enter.
Select Privacy.
The button next to history, select use custom settings.
At the bottom of the page, turn clear history when Firefox closes.
At the extreme right, press the settings button. Activate ONLY the Cache and
Form history and search for without touching the others turned off. -
When I open Hotmail in Firefox and try to connect, Hotmail says my account does not exist. But I can problemlessly connect in other browsers, so I don't know that there is no problem with my account. In addition, I am absolutely sure I didn't misspell anything. Until this problem occurred, I was always able to connect to my Hotmail account in Firefox. I tried to clear my cookies and history, but it still does not work.
Do you have stored passwords or form fill data for live.login.com?
Follow these steps to delete the recorded data (form) in a drop-down list:
- Click on the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop-down list
- Select an entry in the drop-down list
- Press the DELETE key (on a Mac: shift + delete) to remove it.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).
- Do not click on the reset button on the start safe mode window or make changes.

Firefox continues to try to update each time I open the browser, and it then puts a message saying update failed. It does this on both of my computers. We already have the latest version, the other does not. How can I stop Firefox to do this?
If there are problems with the implementation at day then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and remove the Firefox program folder to remove all remaining files.
Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.
- Firefox 10.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible.
- Do NOT remove the data of a personal nature when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data, because all profile files will be deleted.
Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
- It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a relocation, but make sure that you do not select delete data of a personal nature if you uninstall Firefox.

I have tried everything I can think and suggested in your base of knowledge, but FF does not open. I downgraded to a version earlier, but which did not help so I uninstalled everything and did a clean reinstall of the 7.0.1. I restarted at every stage.
However, when I tried to put my favorite chrome (so I could continue to work) he says that FF was opened. Same thing when I went to uninstall. The Task Manager is not running. Chrome works is not my internet connection.
I have not installed a new software or hardware recently, although I've improved Roboform to the latest version. This is the reason to update to FF addon RF was not compatible with the version of FF I used.
I scanned for virus and the machine is clean.
I'm on a PC running Windows 7 Home Premium. Right now I'm working on my old laptop but I need to FF works on my main machine.
Any help much appreciated.
Thank you
