Question from Krista: ” LR4.2 is crashing my system. It worked great for awhile, but now I can’t do ANYTHING without either LR crashing or getting the Blue Screen Of Death. I’m running Windows 7 64 bit.”

Jennifer: Try updating your video card driver?

Brian: reinstall it.

Christy: Have you used CCleaner?

Marie-Eve:  A lot of people have trouble with LR4

Krista:  I haven’t tried CCleaner…I’ll look into that for sure. I have done a re-install and it behaved the same as the first install: worked great for awhile…gradually got slower and slower and slower and then the crashes begin.

Amanda: You may not have enough RAM. I would grab another stick and add it to your PC. That should do the trick.

Brian: When you said you reinstalled. Did you completely uninstall first, then reinstall?

Krista:  Yes complete uninstall then reinstall
