Pentax Digital Camera Utility 4 - not opening

Hi, my software won't open , I have tried removing and reinstalling it, but to no avail.
Anyone else had this issues, or can you help??
Thanks, Andrew

Try right clicking on the icon and selecting "run as" "administrator".

Nope, it just keeps coming back with Runtime error!

I'd uninstall the program, download ccleaner, install it, hit "clean" and run "scan registry" then fix whatever it finds (clicking "yes" to save changes somewhere you can find again). Then reboot when that's done to try reinstall the pentax program.

All attempts failed, even with the support of Pentax - so Photoshop it is...

Mine would not work as well

Which OS are you using?

Here's the fix: Seems the database gets corrupted on Windows.

For XP (Assuming C: is your boot drive) go to Cocuments and Settings[Your Login Account]Local SettingsApplication DataPentaxDigital Camera Utility 4

and delete the Temp_Data directory entirely.

For Windows 7, go to the same folder under C:Users[Your Login Account]Local SettingsApplication DataPentaxDigital Camera Utility 4

and delete the Temp_Data folder.

The app should restart and work fine...until you change the source directory for your pictures or some such thing.

It is a useful application, especially for PEF files, but Fast Stone Photo Viewer is free and work much better and supports the RAW files from most camera models.
