They have to start first. if it doesn't start, then it can't be an adobe problem, since the adobe component isn't even running. From what has been posted it seems to be somehow tied up with permissions. I imagine these are probably set by the software installer. nothing more than a wild ass guess. Nope. Other people have found out how to fix the problem. only the symptoms, not the underlying cause. in other words, a workaround. The symptom is that the program doesn't run. The 'work around' as you call it is a changed setting which allows the program to run. In other words, something was stopping the program from running. Fixing that solved the problem. and from then on the program ran perfectly satisfactorily. What setting is changed to what? My tenses have probably become confused along the way. I haven't had time to get at it yet. In the article I read the change was of a setting to allow the program to run as administrator. But that was Windows 7. I have yet to discover the equivalent action in Windows 10. Should be the same, and it's a trivial matter to change. I agree. All I need is the time to investigate exactly how the Crash Reporter works. But is that not working, or is the LR issue failing to trigger crash reporter? And what good is crash reporter anyway? It has never helped me to be told that "XXX has stopped working". I already knew that, and it has never found a solution. It really just wastes my time. |

Two separate problems: only one of which involves a crash. a crash is never acceptable. you didn't actually fix the crash. only adobe or microsoft can do that. Now you are talking about the LR PRINT problem. Are you really suggesting that LR should be able to run with a corrupted data base? no, but it should not crash just because the catalogue is corrupt. lightroom could check on launch or ideally, windows could have a maintenance task that checks. How the hell would Windows know what permissions are required? If it's an installation problem it's up to Adobe's installer to get them right. and it does. otherwise hundreds of millions of users would not be able to use their software. Check the forums and find out how many users of a variety of Adobe apps are now complainining that Crash Reporter isn't working. Bearing in mind that you have to have a crash to find that out, there must be very many more who have the same problem but haven't found out yet. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

I suspect the crash reporter doesn't start and run until it is triggered by some trivial service somewhere. Whether the fault is in the service or in the CR is something I do not know. Life has been so hectic lately that I have just about given up trying to find out. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |
