Whilst the above measures are still checking the catalogue integrity, there is something else you should check.

All programs off
Control Panel > Colour Management > Advanced tab

Device Profile - change it using the drop down to "sRGB IEC61966-2.1"

Searcher I changed the color management advanced tab from spyder4 to your recommendation. There are No Other recent recent catalogues. There are 21 empty sections which I have written Dow if you need them, the others are full.

Did you reboot after changing the display - should have said this.

There is only thing left to try which I found on the Adobe website:

Windows Vista and Windows 7

1.Exit Photoshop Lightroom.
2.Choose Start > Control Panel > Color Management.
3.In the Profiles Associated With This Device field, select the default monitor profile.
4.Click Remove.

Note: If multiple monitor profiles are listed, it is sometimes necessary to repeat the procedure for each one. Launch Photoshop Lightroom and test to see if the problem is resolved. If it isn't, return to the Display Settings and remove the next profile in the list.

Additional Information
Windows Vista and Windows 7 include the Microsoft Windows Color System (WCS), an OS-level color management platform that uses a unique color profile format. Using Photoshop Lightroom 1.2 or later is required for Lightroom to use WCS profiles.

The monitor profile (also called a color profile or ICC profile) tells your computer's video display card how to accurately display color on your specific monitor. If the profile is damaged, the image data that Photoshop Lightroom sends to the video display card can be corrupted before reaching the monitor. As a result, the photos don't appear. A monitor profile is not required for your monitor to function, but using one is highly recommended.

If the profile you were using was damaged, and it was supplied by the monitor manufacturer, try replacing the file with a new copy. The color profile could have been provided on a CD that came with the monitor. It's also possible that you can download it from the manufacturer's website. Open the C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\color directory, delete the old profile, and copy the new profile into the same directory. Then open the display color management settings through the Control Panel (as in Solution 3 above) and add the profile to the monitor.

If you created a custom profile using a monitor calibration tool or software and it's damaged, create a profile using that tool. (It is highly recommended that you create a custom profile for your computer and monitor rather than using the profile supplied by the manufacturer. More information about the benefits of profiling your monitor can be found in the Working With Color Profiles and Color Management topics of Creative Suite Community Help.)

Searcher,
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. Nothing has helped, but as I'm still on vacation for tow weeks and away from my resources at home I'll see what can be done then. I need lightroom to lead an 8 hour workshop and was hoping to restore it before I returned. I did notice lightroom 6 was coming out soon, maybe that's a possibility. Thanks again for your help, time, and interest.
