How to fix: Lightroom 4 – Crash on Import
After importing a file, Lightroom stops working. This might not be a solution for everyone but here are two things you can try:
1. Delete the Preference file located at
"%appdata%\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences" (just enter this at Start->Run or WindowsKey+R)
or the long way:
C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences
2. Disconnect all USB Controllers. Lightroom disliked my connected Windows 8 Phone so go check those devices as well.
Beautymine V2 – Map Converter
Nothing special, just the map converter written in C#. This map converter will read a world file and only extract and decompress the data I need into a single file.

New SSD…and some other stuff while at it
So yeah, I wanted a SSD, so while I was at that, I got myself a new case, a new CPU cooler, some more RAM:
Before:
After:
Fractal Design Define R4 (I switched the side panels around, put some nice pictures and some programming cheat-sheets on it, looks like a fridge now)
AMD Phenom II X4 955 (C2, OCed to 3.6GHz at 1,425V)
ASUS M4A79XTD EVO
NZXT Kraken X40
NVIDIA GeForce 275 GTX
Corsair LowProfile 8GB
1x Samsung SSD 840 Pro
2x 1TB WD Green
1x 3TB WD Green
Still not finished, I need some more cables and then a final cleanup.
Beautymine V2
V1 has not even been released and was scrapped. This was the lastest progress:
XNA/C# running quite smoothly but for some optimizations I am in need of DX10 so I moved to C++ and can proudly present an immense improvement:
How to fix: Windows Phone 8 Driver Not Found
So yeah this took me some time to figure out so here we go:
Hardware-IDs:
USB\VID_045E&PID_F0CA&REV_0100&MI_01
USB\VID_045E&PID_F0CA&MI_01
I am using Windows 7 64-bit.
Problem: Upon connecting the Windows 8 Phone, there are 2 drivers to be installed. One installs succesfully, the other one is left with a yellow exlamation mark in the Device Manager.
1. Get yourself the Windows Phone USB drivers e.g. from here
2. Unzip the folder.
3. Open the "WmZuneSerUSB.inf" file with Notepad/Editor.
4. Change the lines
[Microsoft.NTx86]
%DeviceDesc% = WINMOBIL, USB\Vid_045E&PID_04EC&MI_01
[Microsoft.NTamd64]
%DeviceDesc% = WINMOBIL, USB\Vid_045E&PID_04EC&MI_01
to
[Microsoft.NTx86]
%DeviceDesc% = WINMOBIL, USB\VID_045E&PID_F0CA&REV_0100&MI_01
[Microsoft.NTamd64]
%DeviceDesc% = WINMOBIL, USB\VID_045E&PID_F0CA&REV_0100&MI_01
5. Save the inf file.
6. Go into the Device Manager, right-click the device with the exclamation mark, "Update drivers", "Search on computer", and navigate to the folder you unzipped and which includes your updated .inf file. Click on "Next" and you should be good to go.
