    Problems opening LR Catalog on Backup Desktop

    I might add that I've done a lot of googling about this message.... and it seems like it's been an issue for many years. Also many have said the problem is caused by a "lock" file and the solutions is to delete the lock. Unfortunately I don't know anything about a "lock file."
