When I try to open Lightroom 3.3 "Lightroom - Opening Catalog: IMG_8938.JPG.lrcat" comes up and Lightroom won't open - instead I get a "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 64-bit has stopped working." I am on day 20 of a trial and up until today when I tried to create a catalog it was working perfectly - and then this.

I tried to reinstall the program and that didn't work. There is no .lock file on my drive.

Any ideas? I would love to purchase the program, but not if I can't open it. I greatly appreciate any help.

Hi ,
I do face the same issue. I use XP as OS.
None of the above methods are working for me :(
The catalog folder doesn't popup either with ALT or CTRL key :(
Search also has not resulted in finding the lrcat :(

Any suggestions please
