LR will not open

Hi...I cannot open LR Classic. I have the following message on my screen:

Lightroom - Opening Catalog: DSCF0343.RAF

I have tried to:

- remove the associated "lock" file

- uninstall LR Classic

Neither can be performed.

Any advice would be appreciated.

DSCF0343.RAF is a photo file, not a catalog. You cannot open a photo file with Lightroom Classic, you can only open catalogs with LrC.

Please state clearly, step-by-step, the steps that produce this error. Are you trying to drag and drop the file DSCF0343.RAF onto the LrC icon?

Using your OS file manager, find your catalog (something.lrcat) and double click on it to open it in LrC.

If that works, check in the Preferences, in the General tab, what is in the Default Catalog section.
