Just tried to open my Lightroom 1.2 , but it gave me an error. Doesn't specify any error, but it won't open. So, I tried the DPP , it opened, but when I double clicked the pictures, it will give me the same error. Tried reinstalling, but it won't help. Do you guys have any idea what might be the problem Thanks in advance guys!!
And why don't people say what error? "It gave me an error". Which one?
Why not try the newest version of Lightroom first, anyway? 1.4.1 is current, and it doesn't cost anything to update.
Ok let's get you a good fast simple image viewer. Then you can check your images and at least have fun viewing them. Get IRFanView. It's a popular free image viewer. IRFanView Site
Just don't let it load the google tool bar etc. You can also get its plugins for raw etc.
On your problems with lightroom and DPP, that's another question. We would need more info on your system, other software installed, what your firewall is and what AV you use. Also some information on your level of expertise with computer systems and photography.
Make sure your system is fully up to date patch-wise with updated FW and AV. Then get back with this info.
Thanks for trying to help guys. Sorry for the incomplete infor about my problem and system. I don't really don't know much about computer. I don't know what my firewall is. I guess it is the one that provided by windows xp? When I run the Lightroom, it tells me that "program must shut down because of the error". "AppName: Lightroom.exe AppVer: 1.2.0.0 ModName: ui.dll Modver: 0.0.0.0 offset 000637d4. Sorry this is the only info I can find out because of limited skill of computer. But thanks again for the help.
The lightroom was running fine yesterday, but it suddenly is giving me trouble from this afternoon.
If there is nothing vital in there I would delete the Lightroom folder in My Pictures and try again, it will merely create a new one and might flush the bad image away. Then start off importing some RAW files you know to be ok.
Personally if it *was* working then I wouldn't do the upgrade until the problem is fixed.
Hang on a sec everyone, check the OP's post again.
He is not having trouble with 1 image he is having trouble with all images.
He is not having trouble with just LR, he is having trouble with DPP too.
OP. Can you open other images in LR or DPP, other thanjust RAWs?
