A Preference File will survive a Lightroom uninstall/reinstall. Sometimes weird behavior is corrected/cured by resetting the preferences. 

Reset Procedure:

1. Close Lightroom.
2. Hold down [Alt/Opt]+[Shift] while restarting Lightroom. 
3. Overwrite the Preferences when prompted by the dialog.
4. Close Lightroom.
5. Restart Lightroom.

Does the failure to open continue after resetting the preferences?

Out of interest, why have you decided that the preference file should survive the uninstall / reinstall? That is probably counter-intuitive to most users

i havent figured out if that was the case. my 11 year old fiddled with the computer and got lightroom working again. he had to go into the computer to close it down completely because it was not responding. i never had to do this with lightroom before but it seems to be what the problem was, as all is back to normal
