starting with version 2.3, i have been unable to open a different catalog without re-starting my windows computer - ???
since this didn't change with 2.4 or 2.5 maybe it's not entirely a LR problem - but i haven't a clue what to do about it

I've used Lightroom since v. 1.0, and I've always had Lightroom restart when I change catalogs. It's irritating, but not a big deal. Is it creating problems for you?

Nemo...
Without putting words in Stevers mouth, I believe he said he needed to restart his entire computer; not just Lightroom.
Is that correct Stever?
Obviously, that shouldn't be the case, the correct behavior is as Nemo states; Lightroom should restart with the new catalog chosen. You might try the usual fixes for LR (I think one this is usually recommended is deleting the prefs file - although I would back it up first in case that is not problem), and another might be compressing the catalog.

right, i have to restart the computer, i'll try deleting prefs after i see what's there
not sure why compression would make a difference - problem is the same regardless of catalog size
