Are you setting the RF60X and the TX unit to the same Group ? (A;B;C; or D)

Well my problem seems fixed. I no longer get Adobe CC trying to "repair" itself each time I start my computer. The fix was to do a clean install and importantly "install as administrator". This is on Windows 7 (still !)

If anyone else is going to move from Elements to Lightroom Classic CC I suggest you do the same.

Thing is I have used Elements for over 10 years, so all my photographs are catalogued in Collections, and many have keyword tags attached to them too. This makes finding and viewing pictures very easy. Lightroom carries over the same system so it makes no sense for me to switch to a different system.

Ok Finally got it sorted. Reinstalled everything ok. imported my Elements catalogue into LR and I am back up and running.

Tomorrow will backup the catalogue in LR.

I know Adobe have been labelled bloatware for many years, but I have used Elements for years and now I have Photoshop i am very happy with that. I have dealt with equally troublesome installations in the past. At least i was was able to uninstall and reinstall in hours rather than days !

Stan, is that ppi high enough for good prints? I am not saying it is not but most online labs require/suggest 300 ppi ?

I think you mean it is at risk of viruses because of its popularity. Any good AV system will not allow viruses onto the computer.

I have signed up recently to Adobe CC which gives me Lightroom Classic and Photoshop.

I was getting error messages everytime I started my computer that Adobe CC needed repairing and so decided to tackle the issue. The answer seemed to be to uninstall CC and reinstall as administrator.

First hurdle was that CC would not uninstall unless Photoshop and Lightroom were uninstalled first. Ok i did that. Then uninstalled CC but was told it uninstalled with errors. Hmmmmph. Ran the Adobe clean-up tool. ran a registry cleaner all seemed good. Reinstalled CC as admin but it would not let me re-install LR or Photoshop.

So then went for the nuclear option. uninstall everything Adobe on the computer. After uninstalling Elements/Reader/Flash, i then set about deleting every left over Adobe folder i could find. Problem was there is a folder which contains Adobe GC Client which checks the licencing of products. This needed to be uninstalled in windows safe-mode. Then ran a registry cleaner.

Now was able to re-install CC (as admin) and photoshop and Lightroom. In order to get Lightroom as I had it before I now need to reinstall Elements, import the elements catalogue (which contains all my tags and collections from the last 10 years of photography)into LR and I should be good to go.

I think i have used the entire gamut of swear words this afternoon in accomplishing this feat.

Some great prices there Chris, especially for the DFA 15-30 which I now have in my sticky fingers, can't wait to give it a proper try-out.

Thanks again
