Adobe Bridge CS3 crashes on load in my Windows 7 workstation.

Adobe Bridge CS3 crashes on load in my Windows 7 workstation.
I recently completely removed, deactivated and reinstalled all my Adobe Creative Suite CS3 Master Collection to solve some problems with other application from the suite and now I'm surprise Bridge continues to fail. In my portable workstation the same software (Bridge) uses to work.
I tried launching Bridge under several compatibility modes. All failed.
Is there any know bug I should be aware of? Any fix?
Is this a common problem?

Curt Y. Thank you for your answer.
It was only Bridge who was crashing. It failed to load and Windows was giving an error message.
I tried your suggestion, and resetting all options in the reset window it now loads. It was as simple as that.

Help, which windows Service msut be on to run Adobe Bridge CS3?

hi all,
I'm having trouble opening Adobe Bridge CS3, theres a windows popup that says "Adobe Bridge has encountered a problem and needs to close" error message when i try to start.
I can run the other Adobe Cs3 applications fine, i've been playing around with the disabling of windows services to increase bootup time. i'm afraid i may have accidentally disabled something necessary
pls advice on how to get it working.. i'm on win xp pro sp2
thanks

When you get the "Bridge has encountered an error" popup box, check the technical info hyperlink to see what's the problem. It may point to a DLL that had an error.
From there, check the web to see what that DLL relates to, which may or may not give you a lead. Maybe something that needs to be running in WinXP, maybe a 3rd party product that needs to be fixed/removed/re-installed.
Why do I say this? I had the same issue on Bridge after getting the trial version. Worked for a while, then suddenly stopped working with the same startup dialog box and a quick shutdown. Digging a bit as above pointed to a DLL that was related to Quicktime. I went to the Apple site and downloaded/installed the latest version of Quicktime, and the Brige problem was cured.

Bridge CS3 (Windows XP) fails to start because Symlib.dll was not found

Bridge CS3 (Windows XP) fails to start because Symlib.dll was not found? How do I fix this? I've re-installed and the auto updater has run...I even downloaded and ran the patcher application? By the way Bridge CS3 doesn't show up in the CS3 program list in the start menu but it is installed in my program files - I've tried launching it directly from there as well. Bridge CS2 is operating just fine.
Update: I installed and ran the Adobe Support Advisor, resulting in - Issues: "The module found no solutions to report for the selected log file."
I tried to package the report and the error read: "The size of the package is too large to be handled with the current configuration! Please contact Adobe Support for additional information."
I opened a web based report/case number at the Adobe Support Portal about the missing Symlib.dll (including the Adobe Support Advisor error). Their response was: We regret to inform you that complimentary support for your product is not available and/or has expired.

Did Bridge work before? If so, reset preferences by holding down the Ctrl key when starting Bridge. If successful you will get a Reset Window, choose all 3 options.

Don't have permission to delete files in Preview or Adobe Bridge CS3

Help!
I'm unable to delete image files in Preview or Adobe Bridge CS3.
Workflow:
1. Take a bunch of photos on my Nikon
2. Load them to my MacBook Pro, 10.6.3
3. Open them in Preview and right-click "Move to Trash" on the photos that I don't want.
==> this results in "Move to Trash Failed. Some files could not be moved to Trash."
4. If I open the bunch of photos in Adobe Bridge CS3 and command-delete the photos that I don't want
==> I get "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient permissions."
I am logged in as the same user who loaded the image files.
Permission on the image folder start out at
me: Read & Write
admin: Read only
everyone: Read only
but even if I change all to Read & Write, I still get the same errors.
What's going on?????
Thanks.

Did you ever figure this one out? I'm having the same issue...

Why is my iPhone no longer able to communicate with adobe bridge cs3?

We have 2 iphone 4's that I have been able to download photos from and into my imac for the last year while using the adobe bridge cs3. Recently, it began giving me an error meassage: " Adobe bridge cs3 cannot obtain files from this device. Please ensure that the device is connected properly,or that the battery is charged, adn try again".
I did both and that message still pops up. My usb ports are working fine as well as the usb cords(as far as I know of) and the batteries are fully charged when I do so. So what is the deal here??? If anyone can please help I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!!!

Maro,
I'm running VISTA on my PC. None of the suggestions solved the problem. I uninstalled iTunes removing all suggested files from another post and reinstalled iTunes 11.1.3 and removed the iTunes Ibarra from my iPhone Remote. I restarted the computer, iPhone & router. I added the iTunes library to my iPhone remote. I didn't get an icon on the menu bar of the iTunes on the PC but a dialog came up asking for the code which was on my phone. I typed in the code and the library showed up on my iPhone Remote. I selected it and got an error message that it couldn't connect. This is extremely weird and frustrating. What should I do now?

Reinstalling Adobe Photoshop nothing has changed. Adobe updates are installed.
The operating system is Windows 7 64-bit.

Hello, wck.org. As it happens, there's no such thing as "Adobe Photoshop CS6 Elements". Do you have Photoshop CS6? I would suggest that you would do better posting in the Bridge forum, since PSE isn't based on CS6 and doesn't include Bridge, so there aren't many people here who can help with problems with Bridge CS6:

Adobe Bridge overrides Windows Explorer functions?

Since installing Adobe Bridge CS3, I am unable to rename/copy/move folders within Windows explorer...If I want to do it, I have to use Bridge.
This is particularly annoying when new folders have to be renamed/copied/moved within OTHER programs. Example: I am processing a photo or piece of video in Nero or Quicktime and create a new folder to place the processed images/videos. I can not name that folder while within Nero or Quicktime nor can I rename it if I exit the program and use Windows Explorer. I HAVE to open BRIDGE and do it there....
Help?

Perhaps it is something with NEro or Quicktime. Make sure they are both the latest version. There has been some conflicts with Quicktime and Bridge in previous QT updates.
I have Vista and have no problems with have not experienced any problems like you describe with Windows Explorer. I usually use WS rather than Bridge for deleting, copying, moving. I have experienced some problems with external drives and permissioning problems when using Bridge, but starting Bridge in administrative mode solved that. Right click on Bridge icon and choose "Run as Administrator".

Adobe Bridge CS3 - does not display thumbnails for Canon 40D or 50D RAW files

I wanted to use Bridge to view my Canon EOS 50D RAW files and it does not display the thumbnails, just icons. I checked my 40D cr2 files and saw same thing.
I have purged the cache and rest the cache preferences and it has not helped. I would like to be abl eto view the thumbnails of the RAW files via Bridge if possible. Jpg files and Tif files can be viewed without any issues.
Am using Bridge version 2.1.1.9 and Pshop CS3 10.0.1

I have the exact same problem. I can view my RAW file thumbnails (which are .ARW files from my Sony A200 camera) in the Finder and in other applications, such as Preview, but not in Adobe Bridge CS3. I know that I did try purging the cache at one point to see if that would fix it, but then I didn't know what to do after that. Before I purged the cache, I was able to view RAW thumbnails in Bridge, but then they would not increase in size when I tried using the slider (at the bottom right of the Bridge window)

Adobe Bridge CS3 photo downloader won't auto-open.

Hi,
This is my mystery:
I can open Bridge/File/Get Photos From Camera/, and select my cf card drive. But the Photo Downloader box USED to pop up when I first put my card in the reader. This does not happen any more - and I can't figure out why, or how to reset it.
Any ideas?
Bridge 2.1.1.9
Windows XP Pro 64-bit
Thanks,
Karl G

This may add Bridge to your list of "Open XXX with" programs.
1) Using Windows Explorer, browse to any of the photographs on your system - not necessarily on your camera card. It's helpful if all of your photographs are JPGs or TIFs, but not necessary.
2) Right-click one of the photo files and select "Properties".
3) Near the top of that dialog is "Open with <program name>", and there should be a "Change..." button to the right of that. Click the Change button.
4) On the "Open With" dialog, click the "Browse..." button and browse to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Bridge CS3\Bridge.exe and click OK.
5) Now, still on the "Open With" dialog, make sure the "Always use the selected program..." check-box is turned OFF. (If you can't turn it off, that shouldn't be a problem.
6) Click OK and then close your Windows Explorer.
At this point, you should be able to complete step 6) from my previous post. (Of course you'll have to follow all of those steps from my previous post.)

Adobe Bridge CS3 Default Folder

How do I change the Adobe Bridge CS3 default folder?

I still had no way to change Open With Default. MAybe I should just upgrade Bridge.
While CS3 is not the best version of Bridge and the changing upgrade policy of Adobe (until december you can upgrade to CS6 with 3 versions back, after that it is only possible to upgrade with one version back
But I still don't understand what you are looking for, in the subject line it states default folder but you want to have open the files in PSCS3?
While that should indeed be the default but if that is not the case with you what does your system as default application?
In Bridge preferences you have also file type associations that give you the option to set default application to open with per file type.
And on your Mac you can select a file type in the Finder and choose 'get info'. In this window you also can set open with and apply to all.

Can't Directly Rate my Images using Stars in Adobe Bridge CS3

Hi
I can rate my images in Adobe Bridge CS3 by using the drop down 'Label' menu. However, I cannot rate my image by stars directly under my image thumbnails as my book suggests I can. The book states: "You can also assign stars directly under the thumbnail by clicking on the dots".
Is there anyway I can do this? Do I have to change some preferences?
Many thanks in advance for anticipated help.

try resetting your preferences by holding Ctrl right after you launch Bridge(you have to be fast, you'll get a dialog box if you succeeded)
Though you'd need to do this only if you are doing it correctly in the first place. With a picture selected you'll notice 5 small dots beneath its thumbnail which you can click on to rate things. If you don't see the dots then increase the thumbnail size by adjusting the slider at the bottom of the screen

Keyword selection function in Adobe Bridge CS3

Hello,
Does anybody know if and how I can change the "selection criteria" of keywords in Adobe Bridge CS3?
-> selection criteria: If I want to use the filter with the keywords, it selects the images which include any of the selected keywords (OR-function), but I would like to select only those images which have all of the selected keywords(AND-function).
Example: In a holiday folder named "italy", I want to see all pictures with the keywords "beach" and "me". What I get are all the "beach" images and all the "me" images. How can I change this?
Would be great if someone could help me...!
Thanks!

In the Find box the Match drop down has 2 options. "If all criteria is met" is like "and" while "if any criteria met" is like "or" logic.
