How do I go about reinstalling Lightroom while preserving all the work I've done with it for the last several years?
The program is acting funny and I think it might be corrupted.
I have all my photos in one catalog.

If you regularly backup your catalog to a safe location (as you should do) then you have no problem - you can copy the backup .lrcat file to wherever you want. If you don't have a recent backup, make one before reinstallation by copying the .lrcat to your desktop. Elie / אלי
