Can't reinstall classic LR after system restore on desktop computer

[cathyj57146093]

I installed classic LR on a new desktop computer Jan 5. It was my 2nd copy, I already had it installed on a laptop. After installing a camera driver I had to restart the computer. It would not restart because of a "inaccessible boot device" error. I was forced to do a system restore on the computer to a date before Jan 5. I lost my LR program on the new desktop computer. I logged into my Adobe account, deactivated the LR on the new desktop and tried to install it again. It starts the install of LR, but stops at 5%.

Sounds more like you have computer problems.

No new computer needs a sys restore and gives you a "Inaccessible boot device" if everything is running OK.

As far as I know you can reinstall LR and whatever on the same computer as many times as you like without having to reset your activations.

A link that came up with the error message directed me to the Microsoft website. It stated this can happen after downloading a driver, which I had done just previously. So I had to restore to previous of downloading the driver, which also happened to be previous to installing LR.

I was able to clean off the remnants of LR and reinstall it. I am up and running.

Glad you got it to work! Microsoft can be a little finicky with their drivers sometimes!
