Bridge CS6 Insists on Running as Administrator - PC

Everything worked so well in CS5 Extended......
Windows 7 Pro 64 bit - MSI 990FXA-GD80 Motherboard - AMD Phenom II X6 1100T CPU - nVideo GTX550ti Video
Okay, I have CS6 running on an SSD. Initially with CS6 Beta I found I had to run as Administrator. I eventually discovered how to run as a user by going into Preferences / Performance and setting my scratch disk to my hard drive.
So now I have the CS6 release. I deleted CS6 Beta as instructed and followed directions for the install. CS6 works fine except for the bugs that I reported in the beta forum . My problem is now that Bridge insists on running as Administrator. If I try and run it as a user, it comes up and quits immediately. It doesn't make a wisp of difference where I set my Cache file, SSD or hard drive. I can even deal with that, however now I can't start Bridge from Photoshop! I click on File / Browse in Bridge and nothing happens. If I start Bridge then go to Photoshop and click on File / Browse in Bridge, still nothing happens. I have to manually switch to the Bridge window.
Help!!

I think the point of trying to help people find workarounds is that no one here save for the Adobe folks know when they're likely to release that fix.

it seems the CS6 Beta was released totally as a marketing ploy and not at all to allow us to work with it and report bugs.
When was the Photoshop CS6 beta first made available? The date I recall is March 22, 2012, and that software was actually built from sources on March 5, near as I can tell.
For reference, note the build dates on the files installed as part of the Photoshop CS6 release:
Software preparation for release is normally a pipeline, with engineers working on code, build teams building code into executables and installers, system testers testing builds, beta testers testing potential releases, and customers downloading released code all simultaneously.
I suspect Adobe was expecting to be able to release the Photoshop CS6 they already had built by the time the beta test started, unless any real "show stopper" bugs were found. Bottom line I think is that we can assume none of the customer-reported bugs during the public beta were gauged "show stoppers". I'm pretty sure not everyone sees the crash you're seeing.
There's always pressure to get a release out, even if it's not perfect, as long as some customers can derive value from it... Proceeds from sales can keep the lights on at the factory while the first update is prepared.
We only hope that update makes everything better without making anything worse.

CS6 Has to Run as Administrator - SOLVED!!

A number of us have had problems with CS6 Beta insisting on running with administrative priviliges. So far, I don't see a solution listed.
My case seems to be the same as others. We are booting from an SSD on which Windows is loaded. We also have a second drive of the old mechanical sort . All programs are loaded on this drive.
Okay, if that's your situation, read on.... My boot SSD is the C: drive and my hard drive is D:. When I installed CS6 Beta, it refused to run until I set it to run as administrator.
I went into Edit -> Settings -> Performance and on the Scratch disk setting, I checked D: and unchecked C:. Aha! That'll fix it. BUT IT DIDN'T!! CS6 still insisted on Administrative priviliges!!
Tonight I went back into the Performance settings and noticed something. You can change the order of the drives. Since the C: drive was unchecked, I naturally assumed Photoshop would skip over it. THAT ASSUMPTION IS WRONG!!
Just for the heck of it, I changed the order of the drives by highlighting the C: drive then going to the right and clicking the down arrow. I then OK'ed that setting, went out of Photoshop and brought up Explorer where I unchecked "Run as Administrator" for Photoshop.exe. Then I rebooted. When I brought up CS6, IT WORKED!! It no longer needed to run as Admin!
Fix it, Adobe!

I don't use Bridge, but it (Bridge) seems to be pre-set to run as administrator.
Thank you very much for the link. Adobe needs to know about this problem.

InDesign CS6 will only run "as administrator"

I have Windows 7 on a 32-bit computer. I can only start InDesign CS6 if I "run as administrator." The first problem is that it doesn't remember things like "recently viewed" when the computer is shut down and restarted.
The more serious problem is that the Help doesn't work at all. It just sits there or, if I hunt around, it tells me I have no internet connection.
If I open normally, it gets to the startup page and then says that the program has failed and will be shut down. All files are up to date.
I installed it on a second 32-bit computer (my laptop) and got the same results.
I have no way of knowing if this is related or not, but I cannot "drag" a file onto the open area in InDesign. A circle shows up as a pointer and nothing happens.

See this post: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff431742.aspx
It explains the details from Manish's reply, and will atleast get you working.
But this has to do something with the user account. I think that you should check that your account has sufficient privileges that let the software make changes to system files on disc. For example, make sure that the account you're signed into is part of the Administrators group.
Btw, does this also happen with other software as well, or is it just InDesign CS6?

Java Access Bridge and Windows 7 Run as Administrator Mode

I've had to add java access bridge support to a winforms .net application. The application must be run as administrator for certain functions to work on Windows 7. Unfortunately, I've found the JAB breaks when it's run from a program that has been elevated to administrator.
I'm able to reproduce the issue with JavaFerret.exe. Running with a simple double click has no issue tracking mouse events etc, but if I start it via right click "run as administrator" then nothing gets presented in the output window. Can others confirm JavaFeret.exe breaks for them as well in Windows 7 admin mode? Any ideas what's going on and how to work around the issue?

So after a bit of experimenting we've found that as long as the accessibility program that's hosting the JAB and the java program that is being interacted with are both run in administrator mode then the issue goes away.
In our case we were able to launch IE from the accessibility program (which was already in administrator mode), opening the java applet in IE and successfully use the JAB between the two.

Bridge CS6 insist to open Camera raw files via Photoshop CS6 instead of CC

Hi
I´ve trying to start using Photoshop CC instead of CS6. The problem is that my Bridge CS6 is opening Camera RAWs to Photoshop CS6 as a default instead of CC. I`ve changed Finder defaults and as well as Bridges own File type assosiations to use Photoshop CC as a default, but still it isnt working. I wouldnt want to delete Photoshop CS6 completely.
Any help, anyone?

Which version mac os x are you using?
If it's mac os x 10.6.8 snow leopard, then post back before installing bridge cc.
I believe you need to install bridge cc so your camera raw files will open from the camera raw dialog in bridge cc to photoshop cc.
Also of note is the camera raw version for bridge cs6 doesn't have any of the new features that the bridge cc version of camera raw has.
If you open the the Creative Cloud Desktop.app, then you should see Bridge CC available for install.

We cannot download Firefox. It does not allow us to download as Current User and instead insists we run as Administrator and we do not know the password. Can you help?

If we try to continue as Current User by selecting that button, nothing happens. If we try as Administrator we cannot provide the password and so we fail both ways.

Most "businesses" don't install/control apps that way. You might want to start here:

Standard users forced default "run as administrator" for acrobat.exe X pro

The software has been reinstalled and patched CS6 all componets of CS6 run fine under a standard user account with the exception of Acrobat Pro. Acrobat Pro runs fine when an administrator is logged in BUT when a standard user logs into the computer all application shortcuts and even direct execution of the exe insists on "running as administrator", seeing as though they are not an administrator they can not run Acrobat Pro X. Any assistance would be grealtly appreciate.

I'm not saying Norton is your problem, but I haven't heard good things about Norton software in a long time, unfortunately.
I always recommend Avast! antivirus to people. The free version is very good in itself, and they offer a more comprehensive Internet Security version as well.
I don't know how technically-oriented you are, but if you do understand how things work fairly well and have taken measures and adopted good practices to avoid running malware, there is the possibility of just shutting off UAC (MIcrosoft User Account Control) if its operation continually gets in the way of your completing your work. Typically, most people just get in the habit of confirming whatever prompts come up anyway, which defeats most of the protection UAC can afford.

I can't run adobe bridge cs6. Weeks trying to get Adobe support - no help

I read something about people using cc being able to move a folder from common files to the bridge folder and that fixed their problem. Not so lucky on my end.
It's been 4 weeks, something like the equivalent of 5 - 7 DAYS on hold, never reaching anyone who actually knew how to fix this.
I had cs6 properly installed for a couple of weeks on my win7 desktop and my win8 laptop (both 64 bit). Then out of the blue, bridge just stopped working.
Although I've done everything I've been told -- uninstalled, run cc cleaner from adobe, reinstalled. Done that multiple times, and once through every folder on the computer to eliminate adobe stuff, then reinstalled and no luck. Tried moving the folder, no luck.
Bridge won't even load - it just gives me an error message and there's no way I can load it. Adobe insisted that I create a new admin and install PS and BR there. It did work, but did not allow me to use my main login and run bridge. So If I want to use bridge + a program other than a CS6 program, I couldn't do it. No help whatsoever.
Please help. I've gotten the case escalated, but adobe never calls or if they do call (they tried once or twice), they don't leave a phone number and they usually call outside the hours you suggest are the best for reaching you. I keep having to start at the beginning, with the low level techies, and after several hours, I can get them to take my number and schedule a call with the escalation / senior team.
I want the CEO or someone to realize how badly they are abusing their "customers". BUT right now I need to get some work done. I don't want to invest the time to set colors for my monitor or do any customization because they'll just ask me to wipe it again anyway.

Hi,
I don't know why there's a problem seeing the content of my original post, but I am logged into the forum, not using email.
When I try to launch bridge, I get an error message that says "Adobe Bridge CS6 stopped working" and the following details:

Of course, Bridge never actually launches.
As far as the fact that some setting on my computer is incorrect, I'd love to find that magic switch to fix it, but remember that this happened after Bridge was properly installed and working for a couple of weeks after my purchase, and it died on BOTH my win7 desktop and my win8 laptop. Different OS, different hardware, both Dell and both 64 bit.
I've been very careful about having administrator privileges on both computers, and to my knowledge, I didn't install anything new between the time I installed CS6 and the time Bridge died. I'm very slow to update windows, after it wiped my partition and nearly cost me all my data and photos... I research like crazy, and I don't understand this. But I use photoshop and illustrator in combination with other programs so I can't have a situation where I can't be logged in as me using bridge.
Please give me your thoughts - any hints are appreciated... fyi - adobe low level phone tech support has been playing hold music for the last 194 minutes.
Thanks!

I had an issue running Bridge CS6 on my laptop yesterday and after failing to troubleshoot I un-installed it from my system but have yet to find any way to download/reinstall it. I have web design premium and tried uninstalling/reinstalling photoshop and illutsrator as I'd seen bridge was coupled with those but had no luck. Is it possible to download bridge as a stand alone with a web design premium license for cs6

restart your design premium installation, select custom install and you should see options to pick which programs you want to install.
tick bridge and install

I am trying to uninstall Bridge CS6, but there is no uninstaller. Running OSX Mavericks.

I have Photoshop CS6 and Bridge CS6 installed on my MacbookPro, and would like to remove Bridge CS6. I have followed the uninstall instructions for the other CS6 Suite of products I had, but I am unable to find a Bridge CS6 uninstaller. How do I remove Bridge CS6?

Ahhhh, Thank you Ashutosh.Nigam I did wonder if that was the case.

Adobe Bridge CS6 crashing before starting 5.0.2.4

Hi there,
Adobe bridge is crashing for me before even starting.
I'm running as an Administrator on Windows 7x64 and using the latest version of Bridge, 5.0.2.4
It came with Adobe inDesign 8.0.2 which works perfectly, the only problematic app on the workstation is Bridge.
I do have a version of Adobe Photoshop CS2 also installed. I understand this was an issue that was supposedly patched by Adobe a year ago reading up on the forums but this problem still obviously exists.
Even uninstalling all CS2 products and running CCleaner to wipe out all registry references to CS2 does not fix Bridge CS6.
Adobe, please advice on what to do next

Adobe Bridge CS6 has stopped working - has issue been resolved?

Hello.
I am experiencing the above problem with a new install of CS6.
Has this issue been resolved?
CS6 Design and Web Premium installed on Win 7 pro 64 bit Dell Precision laptop. Error with Adobe Bridge cs6: "Adobe Bridge CS6 has stopped working", problem event name "APPCRASH". Error occurs when opening Bridge from Photoshop and other apps (Browse in Bridge) and directly from desktop or start menu. Also a cache directory is not being created under c:\user\<user>\appdata\roaming\adobe\bridge\. Holding ctrl key down and double clicking icon gets same message, cannot get at reset window.
Performed the following with no change: verified Bridge and full suite is on latest version (Bridge=5.0.2.4); created desktop icon directly from bridge.exe; verified application was installed and is starting with administrator privileges; verified latest display driver installed; performed complete uninstall of CS6, CC cleaner tool run, then full reinstall; Error under Event Viewer: faulting application: Bridge.exe and faulting module name: ntdll.dll; disabled UAC; tested memory for damage using MemTest86-good.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

A follow up to the above.
There appears to be a number of possible causes for this type of error. In my case it was somewhat specific. I had a stand alone copy on this same machine previously of Adobe Photoshop CS2 (only) which was completely uninstalled prior to the installation of CS6. There is an issue with Bridge CS6 being installed on a machine that has Bridge CS2 on it. I wasn't aware of Bridge being present with my copy of Photoshop CS2 but apparently there were at least some components of Bridge CS2 left after the uninstall. The workaround that solved the issue for me was the creation of an empty folder:
C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS2
For those of you who may have this situation.
Here is where I found the solution (sixth thread down):
Bridge CS6 won't open running on Win7

Bridge CS6 64-bit AND 32-bit crash!

I am not sure why this is but Bridge CS6 crashes in either 64-bit version or 32-bit version. I do not have the same problem with Bridge CS5.5 which I believe is 32-bit.
I can't fathom that a 64-bit app with as much memory (more than 8GB) on my machine and a pretty decent NVidia Quaddro card would cause such issues. I had installed the latest video drivers not that long ago (within the past 2-6 months) when I was experiencing a separate issue on a non-adobe software crash on startup. Changing or upgrading the video driver caused the software to become responsive again and this was with a 3D software application.
If 64-bit apps are supposed to see the maximum RAM why would my 32-bit CS5.5 not crash in the following scenario? :
A top-level or sub-top level directory which is displaying results from subfolders and when I navigate to a thumbnail CS6 crashes but CS5.5 does not.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I think I have at least 1GB Vram

Curt,
I didn't know exactly which portion of the Event Viewer app to look into so I checked this Windows Vista document which should be the same for Windows 7 which I'm on:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/identify-software-conflicts-system-log.html
I couldn't find an actual Adobe log since no error window came up when it crashed/crashes.
I tried running as administrator as the other person suggested but could not seem to solve the issue.
I still haven't updated my video driver to whatever might have come out last night but I will double check to see if I am running the latest one.
Thanks so far for your responses guys.

Not able to move files to new folders in Bridge CS6

Hello all. I am trying to move files around through bridge CS6 but I keep getting :
" The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient permissions". How do I fix this annoyance? This is really screwing with my work flow and forcing me not to bother using Bridge.
Thanks in advance.

This is really an OS problem as it sets permission levels for operations. What OS?
If using Win OS and an external drive, you can start Bridge by right clicking and choosing "run as administrator".
