PC crashed during 6 start Lightroom. Now open habit. Can not find the lock file

Hello.

My PC stops inexplicably while Lightroom 6 began and then just rebooted. (Windows 7 i7 PC)

Now Lightroom does not start and a "Catalog Adobe" said dialog box could not be opened because another application has already opened it.

A quick search on the internet said the locking file must delete, but I'm not. An Adobe help page shows me:[username]\Pictures\Lightroom\Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat.lock C:\Users\

First of all, I'm on LR6 and my start up programs are on a small SSD. So if I navigate on this hard drive, then program file Adobe\Adobe Lightroom I see many files, then a may list files. None gives me a clue to what is a lock file or look like lrcat.lock.

I'm not very savy on a PC and would be grateful of urgent assistance. I tried to uninstall the program and then reinstall, but in vain.

Thank you very much.

Hi andys62004617,

lock file is located in the exact location as well as your catalog.

Search under Pictures\Lightroom\ Catalog.lock of Lightroom and delete (do not remove the .lrcat files because it's your main catalog)

  • Computer failure, hard drive readable: can not find the 5 Lightroom Catalog.

    Computer failure, hard drive readable: can not find the 5 Lightroom Catalog. Help appreciated.

    I used 5.3 LR on Win7, never pay attention in the name of the catalog used. My photo files were on the same physical hard disk D: partition.

    Now that I have a new computer Intel NUC, with Win7 installed on drive C: (SSD M.2), I plugged my old drive hard drive E: (old C :) and drive F (old d :))

    I have re-installed LR 5.3 and also upgraded to LR 6, , but the problem is that I can't find the catalog I was using with LR 5.3

    I searched for *.lrcat and see all previous catalogues lightroom starting with LR 2, 3, 4, 5, getting bigger and bigger, but not catalog 5 including the current date.

    The catalog would have another name or extension?

    I have the old C: drive. Is there a config file that would confirm where the catalogue is supposed to be?

    Help!

    HM, it is clear that it is not found on your old C: (so E :). )

    And there is no config file to tell where to find the catalog to Lightroom. It's just that the catalog is in the place you choose (most of the people chose to have the catalog to the location by default...).

    My hard drive crashed and I had to reload vista. I can not find the product key. What can I do?

    Contact the manufacturer of your computer.

    Look on the side/back if a desktop computer; down if a laptop.

    Also look on any packaging the VistaDVD came, if you bought it yourself.

    If the product key is lost, we can NOT help you replace.

    See you soon.

  • Where can I find the program files on the start menu?

    Where can I find the program files that appeared when I clicked on the Start button in older versions of Windows?

    I would definitely recommend getting the update: it solves a lot of problems and significantly accelerates things.  But if you haven't yet done so, the option "All Apps" is nestled in a toolbar.  You can right click on an empty area of your home page to display the toolbar.

    Check the 'Smart Position' option in the advanced part of the Position properties. Drag the "anchors" that are normally found at the top and left side of the blade up to what they encounter the side of the object you want to anchor to (a blue line appears, you can release the mouse then):

  • Dreamweaver CS5 won't start, can't find the configuration file

    Dreamweaver can not locate the resource file in the Configuration folder. This file is required to run Dreamweaver. Please reinstall the application.

    Dreamweaver CS5 does not start because of the above error message.

    Found the file configuration, but on my roaming profile on the server, not on the C drive.

    Note that I have installed Dreamweaver on the second partition of the hard drive, not on C drive due to lack of space. Other software Adobe CS5 work well, like Photoshop and InDesign.

    I tried to delete the Configuration file (after saving), I read on this forum that it should be automatically recreated, but without success. Tried to copy the Configuration (in fact the entire Adobe folder) folder for the user profile on the C drive, but without success.

    No previous version of Dreamweaver has been installed on this PC. However, I have used earlier versions on different computers and there are in the Adobe folder on my roaming profile of CS4 and CS6 tracks.

    Could you please tell?

    I had searched the forum before posting, but could not find a relevant solution.

    Changed the registry as suggested by your link, but without success.

    Re-installed Dreamweaver CS5 and it worked. Detective Conan.

  • Lightroom 6.6.1 can't find the right lens profile more

    Hello

    I have updated to Lightroom to the latest version, of camera raw 9.6 6.6.1 and now I have the problem that lightroom does not find the correct lens profile more.

    I use the same equipment and workflow as before. Even if I select the profile of lens manually, it doesn't have the right profile, but when I check an older import some weeks ago, selected and used Lightroom the right profile, which is located on the old selectable photos!

    Material used:

    Nikon D750

    Nikon 24-120/4

    Tamron 70-200/2.8

    Windows 8.1

    Any ideas?

    Some current problems?

    Kin regards,

    Martin

    Two of these lens profiles are integrated with LR. This means that you manually select them and you do not put a checkmark in the optical Correction area.

    Then uncheck the option for corrections to activate the profile. you will then see a box of low red described "applied objective integrated profile.

    Of course, you can make the correction manually if you wish.
