Call/contact Adobe

We're not Adobe. We can't fix anything. You might want to tell Adobe, not us ... but even so, I doubt this is the fault of Adobe or the fault of Lightroom. "Catalog has an error" is almost always due to a hard disk malfunction. So you might be able to fix it, by either getting a new hard disk, or putting a recent backup of the catalog file on another disk and using that.

Try resetting your Lightroom preferences:

FWIW, you may think an issue on your end is a bug that is affecting everyone, that Adobe can fix: not the case.

Can't hurt once up and running to try optimizing your catalog. And backup everything and often!

I agree with the other 3 responses - however, it may be something we can help with IF you list your computer, OS and LR version.
