Hi Mark I echo the suggestion that you make sure your HDD is working properly by doing a disk scan of some sort. It's dangerous to start trying other solutions if the drive is about to fail! While you're at it, it's probably a good idea to make sure your backups are up to date -- and by backup I mean not only the .lrcat file that store Lightroom's metadata but also the original camera files (JPGs or raw files).
It's also possible that some other process is doing some work on your system. Do you have Windows Defender or virus software installed? You can use Task Manager (right click the task bar and choose "Task Manager") to see what processes are using a lot of CPU. If it isn't Lightroom then some other app is stealing CPU cycles -- try shutting that other app down? (But be careful you don't shut down a system process, that can lead to things not working!) Adobe has also written several pages about how to optimize Lightroom: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/optimize-performance-lightroom.html I'm not sure I agree with the order there -- I'd start with this "Optimize the Catalog" step: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/optimize-performance-lightroom.html#main_Optimize_the_catalog These pages might duplicate what is on that one, but they're possibly also helpful: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/performance-hints.html http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2013/06/lightroom-basic-troubleshooting-to-fix-most-issues.html And don't forget that Adobe Lightroom has a fantastic user base that helps each other out -- you can ask your question there and I bet someone will help you some more: https://forums.adobe.com/community/lightroom or if you figure out what is going on you can talk directly to Adobe here: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family - Andy On Tue, Mar 31, 2015 at 7:17 PM, Mark Romero <marklovesd at gmail.com> wrote: > Hey Everyone: > > Was there a recent Windows 7 64-bit update that affected SQLite? > > A few months ago one of the programs that I use (Lightroom) started to have > long periods where it would stop responding.
