Hi @Heirloom Bob ,

Could you please share your catalog with us? This will help us understand if it is catalog specific issue.

I have dropped an email to you with a shared folder where you can upload it.

In the meantime, I uninstalled LR version 13, reinstalled 12.5 and launched my previous catalog (which I previously moved to another drive, based on an earlier suggestion). I have an operational LR now, albeit 12.5. I will await word from Smit @ Adobe before another attempt. 🙂
