<p>Thanks for the responses everyone. So it seems NEF files from the D610 aren't supported in LR 4 even with the upgrade to 4.4? Right now I'm holding off on upgrading to LR 5 because I have no intention at the moment of switching to Windows 7. I went ahead and downloaded Abobe Dng Converter and will play around with it as time allows.<br> I also have the Nikon Software which came with the camera and will give that a try. </p>

<p>I've recently purchased a Nikon D610 and had taken some test shots in the raw format. I imported the images into LR version 4.3 but got an error message that the raw files weren't supported in the current version and suggested checking for an upgrade. I downloaded version 4.4 and attempted to install it. It got through a good part of the installation process until it came to this error message:<br> "Error 1714. The older version of Lightroom 4.4 64 bit can not be removed. Contact your technical support group."<br> I tried a second time but this time by right clicking on the installer and choosing "Run as Administrator" but to no avail.<br> My OS is Windows Vista 64 bit.<br> Thank you for any suggestions.</p>

<p>Ellis, yes it is the push/pull version. <br> Jim, after further digging I did find a serial number on my lens. <br> This is the lens I have<br> http://www.photosynthesis.co.nz/nikon/af80200.jpg</p>

<p>This is the lens that came out just before the D version. The one I have was purchased new probably around the year 91 or 92. I really can't provide anymore specific information. I have the lens in front of me but don't see any serial any other type of ID numbers. When I first had it, it was paired with an F4s. I had purchased from Kirk Photo a collar with a tripod mount that attached the lens to the camera. I've since replaced the F4s with a D7000. Kirk Photo seems to have a lens collar but they emphasize it's for the D version only. Looking at some Q&A's it seems doubtful that it would work on my lens. So my question is, and I know this lens is quite long in the tooth, does a lens collar or any type of support exist for this lens? Note: I checked the Really Right Stuff site and they don't seem to have anything. <br> Thank you.</p>

<p>Michael, I did try changing the folder name to "images" but that didn't work either. However, your suggestion gave me an idea which solved the problem. Before I realized my original destination was low on space I was going to import the files into a subfolder. When I changed the destination I was trying to import into a subfolder with the same name. By changing the subfolder name I was able to successfully import into the new destination. </p>

<p>I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong and it's getting very frustrating. I have always had my images imported from my SD cards to my PC into a second HD into a folder I named "photos." Today while trying to import additional files I got a message stating the my destination drive was low on space. Since I have a third HD in my PC with plenty of space I decided to try that one. I created a new folder in that drive also called "photos" to where the images would be imported. On the right pane in Lightroom under destination I went expanded the new HD and clicked on the "photos" folder. There is a large white arrow to the right of the chosen destination folder. I then attempt again to import the images but I still get the warning message telling me the old destination HD is low on space.<br> What can I do to get LR to recognize the new destination folder on the new HD.<br> Thanks for your help. </p>
