mdeutch Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 When I reverted back to S4 from S5 due to issues with migration that were not there over the past 5 years, I receive the following error. Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdeutch Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share Posted November 23, 2019 I failed to mention, this is related to the Pixel editor only. everything else works as expected. It happens when I simply open PE or attempt to open a .lpe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilMassey Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Here are some things that occur to me. If these are your original S4 files and not the ones created by S5 when you upgraded, it may be an error or a corrupted file. Do you have backups. S5 does not change the original S4 files, but creates the new S5 format files and should leave the old files alone. Did you delete any S4 files or folders from your LOR folder Before or after you upgraded. Did you uninstall S5 or just run the S4 installer.Either way there may be some debris left behind. To revert you need to do the following, if you did not do it this way. Uninstall S5, if it is still showing up. Uninstall S4 anyway even if it is the only version you see. Delete the LOR folder in c:\Program Files (x86) Reboot Reinstall S4. You might want to run LORpost.exe to make sure S4 is pointed to your LOR folder. None of this should affect your data files but you never know, so make a copy first. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdeutch Posted November 23, 2019 Author Share Posted November 23, 2019 Correct, I uninstalled 5, rebooted then installed 4. All files were backup in two separate locations. (Been there, lost that...)!! Thanks for the suggestion in x86 part and I'll give it a go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that does fix the problem, the next step is the LOR Registry Wipe - but that is USUALLY not needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Christmas Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I uninstalled S4 and everytime I try to delete the LOR folder in 😄 program files x86, it tells me that it cant be completed because the folder or a file is opening another program. It says to close folder and try again. I'm lost! HELP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Christmas Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I finally got it to close by rebooting between uninstalling S4 and deleting the LOR file in x86. Not only did it get rid of the error message, but got my preview props all back. Thank you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Christmas Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 I actually rebooted after removing S5 and S4 and it cleared on the restart so I could remove the files. When I reloaded S4, all my props were back. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
