After that I pastd the catalog file to it’s previous/original folder and re-opened LR, and that was it (For now!). I selected the default catalog option, and because the LR doesn’t have any picture on screen it allows the disable option of the GPU with no problem.

If you haven’t installed it yet you’ll see a blue Install button. Below you’ll see a list of available Adobe apps. The solution I found was to cut/past my catalog to another folder and run LR again, this time because it didn’t found the catalog it asked for creating a catalog or import one. Open the Creative Cloud app and go to the Apps tab. So I did, but every time I did it, it also crashed LR, and the selected option for the GPU didn’t stick. I read online, one had to change the performance preferences settings and disable the use of the GPU.

It would freeze and crash every single time I did it. I had a different problem, it crashed every time I flipped from developer to library, changed folders and then changed back again to developer. If you like Lightroom 4, you’re probably going to appreciate version 5 even more. First of all my specs are above the minimum requisites have a i5 2500K, 8gb of RAM and a 6950 HD with 2GB of VRAM and I also had problems with LR 6.1.
