Hello Brian!
Thank you for your expeditious responses. I have checked and am using the latest version of Lightroom Classic. When I did the Monterey update, I also updated my Lightroom Classic software. I attached a picture with the responses to the questions from the form you asked me to fill out. I am able to open up my photos in Lightroom without a problem, however, I am not using the latest version of it. I'm using version 5.2 for that one.
I'll try the steps in the link you sent me now and see if that works.
Thanks again for your help!
