The temporary file path is not valid. LR cannot start.

Upon starting LR, this is the window that continually pops up. Anyone
else having this problem? Any suggestions?

Hello, what computer is this?

Windows - you can look for a directory named temp at the following location:

C:/Documents and Settings/MYName/Local Settings/Temp

Replace MYName with your user name.
If there isn't a directory there, create one and make sure you can read and write to it.
If it is there, make sure you have access to read and write files into it.

Sid,
Thanks for the reply.

I am using a windows and do not have this directory. I have been trying to create one, but to no avail. Once creating a documents and settings folder in C: it says it will move it to users. I can't stop it from doing this.
Is there a specific way to create a directory?

Thanks,
Brent

You should be able to right click to make a new folder.
I am a Mac person, so one of the windows folk should help on why you are being prompted that it will be moved.

I should ask, XP or Vista?

You must be running Vista... You're looking for Desktop - username - AppData - Local - Temp

If you'll take a moment to fill in your signature it'll make it easier for folks to answer your questions.

HTH,

As far as checking/creating that folder goes:
By default in Windows, parts of that /username/ tree, folders and files are set to 'hidden'. Try Control Panel > Folder Options > View tab > Show Hidden files and folders check box.
