Ok, I downloaded the Lightroom 1 trial version and got some major problems. Programm keeps crashing after minutes. Sometimes it already crashes then I click on an image than other times when I click on develop mode...?

I tried it on both computers... Both have the same problems ?

Any other out there with these kind of problems ?

Hi Christopher. I have pretty much the same setup as you. I've just spent all morning working with the new LR release and had no problems at all.

From what I can tell Lightroom seems to slowly uses up memory until it can no longer function properly, I suspect it is not freeing all the memory it allocates. Beta 4.1 had much worse issues but they are still there in V1.0.

I am trying to import my image library (about 300GB of images) into a new database and I have to do it one folder at a time or it just gets part way through and crashes. Even doing it one folder at a time I have to shut it down regularly to force it to release all the memory it has allocated or it will eventually crash.

Christopher, are you aware of the problems related to running Windows XP with 4GB of RAM? Windows can only address 4GB RAM in total, including video card RAM and memory set aside for other devices and system use. Whenever I upped my RAM to 4GB I would get random crashes on a generally unstable system. I'm certainly no expert on this subject but from what I have read it can certainly cause problems.

No problems here either on both my Mac and PC. It's much faster than the beta. I just imported all my photos with hundreds of folders and it zipped right through them.

It sounds as if something else is amiss with your system.

Same problem Christopher - I can't use it at all - as soon as I do just about anything it crashes and slows everything esle down on the computer to a standstill.

LR 1.0 works great on my system. AMD 64 1600mhz Dual Core (800x2), XP Home 64, 1GB DDR2, Geforce 256MB vid. I would like more ram on my system, but LR is still stable and works fast enough already.

This is almost always usually RAM problem. Check your RAM. Do other memory intensive applications crash with high load?

Well I fixed the problem with help from Chris and another post I read elsewhere mentioning that Nvidia's nView could screw things up for Lightroom.

I updated my nvidia chipset drivers and graphic drivers and Lightroom seems to work fine now.
