Hi! I've recently tried to install lightroom 3.3. However, after the installation (without asking for serial key yet), below picture appears on my screen:
I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program many times, but I still get the same result.
Hope you can help me with this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, go over to Lightroomforums and look at this thread: http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?11341-quot-Lightroom-Opening-Catalog-IMG_8938.JPG.lrcat-quot-comes-up-and-Lightroom-won-t-open
Ask for assistance in getting this fixed, I'm sure some of the PC gurus there will be able to guide you through the process if you feel you need help.

Hi everyone. I can't seem to paste the picture. Anyway, here's the message taht appears in my screen everytime I run lightroom:
Lightroom - Opening Catalog: 4594410780_36c40a73f0_b.jpg.lrcat
Followed by:
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has stopped working
This messages appear even before I was asked for a serial key during installation.
My computer system:
OS : Windows 7 ultimate
Processor: Intel Core i3 CPU M330 @ 2.13GHz
RAM: 2GB
System type: 32-bit Operating System
Thanks again for trying to help me!

Ives,
This situation (=bug) occurs when you choose to create a new catalog and then specify the name of an existing file (i.e. 4594410780_36c40a73f0_b.jpg) instead of entering a folder name for the new catalog.
Easiest way for you to solve the problem is to rename the LR preferences file:

Ives,
This problem (=bug) occurs when you choose "New Catalog" and then double click an existing image file instead of entering a catalog folder name in the "Name" field.
To get out of the problem, you can rename the LR preferences file as follows:

Beat, your knowledge of LR Install is just what I need for resolving a Photo club discussion that has caused some disagreement.
Don't want to bother these good people. is there some way to contact or .. your suggestion? I will check this site.
It is rather important to us.

In the search box of your start menu (if Win7) or in the address bar of a windows explorer, enter %appdata%\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences to get into the preferences folder.
