lr creating havoc with my hard drives windows 7

[worriedshrimp]

greetings,

on lr ps photographers plan.

this isn't my first query about this issue.

adobe updated my lightroom to the newest classic several weeks ago.

it immediately created havoc with my external hd's and everything else. lr creates TEMP folders and crashes repeatedly always needing to check catalog integrity.

i import thousands of gopro images and process them as timelapse mp4. i've been doing this with lightroom for years with NO PROBLEM. after doing a nighmares worth of month long episodes of checking MY SYSTEM for failures i found NOTHING... all these issues stem from lr. i follow the advice here with some corny work around and that did not work.

next i reinstalled an older version of lr room think this would get me back to where i could at least DO MY WORK!

no luck... worse still now my window explorer file manager CRASHES whenever i hover over one of my lr folders!

nice huh?

LISTEN! i'm not able to support adobe and do my work IF THEIR PRODUCT WON'T WORK.

SO PLS ADOBE PROVIDE A CONTACT NUMBER I CAN CALL FOR SUPPORT

you've buggered my system and i want help

You might also want to try asking in the Lightroom Classic forum rather than the Lightroom CC forum.

Lightroom Classic CC — The desktop-focused app

Just thinking out of the box Win 7 service pack 1 is supported only 64 bit?

Another thing ensure that in preferences you do not have the option to "use graphics processor " selected. See the screen capture. I am not sure if a Computer running Win 7 will have a supported Graphics Processor.
