    Same problem! I uninstalled and reinstalled and still the Imaging Studio will not open. Emailed Lexmark support and all I got was reply on how to install the Lexmark Imaging Studio, not how to fix the problem showing error in app4r.exe. I KNOW how to install, but somewhere along the way my D: drive quit working, doesn't even play a music CD anymore. Browsed for answers and found something that said something about needing the Microsoft.net 2.0 framework to run the Lexmark program. Installed that and still the Imaging Studio won't open. I can print things using other programs, but liked the Imaging Studio because (at first) it would print multiple photos of different pictures on one page.
    Does anyone know how to fix the Lexmark Imaging Studio program so it will open and be usable again??

    i'm using the old software that was compatable with other windows (i'm now using vista). often i can't get the imaging studio to boot. i've checked with windows, and they don't seem to have an answer to my problem. any help?

    the problem is that windows is craprap it allows liberies in other older operating systems(XP), the nerds try hard, but still cant get laid...

  • ksheridan49 Feb 13, 2009

    I have the same exact problem as Josh. Lexmark x2500 will not allow me to scan pictures or even open the imaging studio icon without the error message: app.4R.exe has stopped working, etc...I have had no luck in fixing this problem over the last year and a half.

I have had the same problem when I went to redo my Windows Vista Machine. The answer is simple. Install the software from the installation disc that came with your printer. Next go to lexmark.com and download the driver package for your printer and install that. Now a window should pop up asking you if you want to install over the original or make a copy, MAKE A COPY.. After installation is done open lexmark studio and pick to open the copy version and there you go, you can now use your lexmark studio, and for some reason after you open the program once like this the original one works!!!!!!!!

I've faced the same problem, Imaging Studio and the other supporting applications need at least Dotnet FX 2.0 to be installed. What I did is to uninstall X2500 drivers and all the previous installation of the Lexmarks applications on the CD driver, then I've Dotnet and at the end I've reinstalled drivers and support applications (Imaging Studio too) and now all works perfectly!

I downloaded the new ad-aware 2007 (I already had ad-aware-se) and ran a full scan and it caught something when it scanned lexmark.

When I went to run lexmark again it worked fine. Hope it works for yall as easy as it did for me.

Unload the programme from your computer. Clean the Lexmark Disc.Insert the disc again. It worked for Me. Best of Luck. Kirkie.

We have a friend that is having the same problem. Have you guys tried going to the lexmark site to download windows vista updated drivers? I am going to ask him the same question. If not, possibly going to: http://support.lexmark.com/static/229-1-0-590.html
and downloading the most current drivers.. it might fix the problem since it IS a compatibility problem with Windows Vista.

    SOURCE: lexmark x2500 imaging studio App4R.exe not working

    Hi,
    Your best option at this point will be to uninstall the Lexmark Software and reinstall it using the CD. If you do not have the CD available then you can go to Lexmark.com, go to Downloads then select your printer model and then go to available downloads there you will be able to find the newest driver along with the imaging studio.

    App4R.exe comes up on the screen when I am trying to scan in pictures. it then closes the imaging studio down and won't let me use it.

    Please update your printer driver. Visit the Lexmark website at http://bit.ly/aKlcOJ. Select your operating system, download and execute the file. After updating your printer driver, try to scan again.

    Cancelling/stopping a printing job

    Open the Control Panel from either the Start menu or by opening 'My Computer.' Find your Printers and Faxes folder and open that.  Double-click on the icon of the X2500; if more than one, choose the one with a check mark and double click on that icon. This will open a 'job list' showing those which were not completed for some reason, click on it (them) and delete it from the list.

    App4R exe problem

    Try installing the latest driver and software from the lexmark website.

    Also, some posts have suggested you need the microsoft .net 2.0 installed, which you can get through microsoft update, or from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9655156B-356B-4A2C-857C-E62F50AE9A55&displaylang=en
