Bridge freezes instantly on start-up

My IT suport recently changed a network drive so some of my favourites no longer exist. I just want to remove them as I believe this will fix my problem, however as it freezes on startup there is no way of editing preferences etc.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

For anyone else who has this problem, I seemed to have fixed it, although the solution isn't ideal.
I removed the broken links from the 'favourite' registry file insde HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\adobe\bridge
I hope this helps anyone else who has this problem.

  • CS3 Bridge Freezes

    Can Anyone help with this problem?
    After working ok for over a year, bridge has started giving problems. I can see my folders - but not all of them,
    and when i try to open a folder to see the images bridge freezes up completely. I tried resetting but got the same result.
    I have also tried downloading new images from a flsh card and these show up in bridge.
    Any idea what I can try next?
    Thanks

    I don't understand the concept of central or distributed cache. I did not see how to set such options.
    This option is in preferences/cache.  There is a box "automatically export cache to folders when possible"  This will put cache in the folders as well as in central cache location.
    A year or so ago there were lots of posts where the computer just froze up/crashed even when doing nothing.  Don't see that anymore.  Don't know if people got newer computer or whether Adobe provide updates that addressed the problem.
    One thing that you need look at is your anti-virus program.  It can frequently cause problems.  That may explain why all of a sudden you have it freeze up as it may be doing something.  Try to temporaly disable it and see if problem continues.
    The other thing, and this is a long shot, is it possible that the video card is working hard enough to overheat and shut down?  I know some even have fans.  Don't know how to check for this but perhaps some info on Nvida site.

  • OS  X Freezes as it starts

    Dear Friends, Please help me in resolving this problem. I have a MAC G4. OS X is installed on it. The OS freezes as it starts up. No icon appears on the desktop. I have the Restore CD and the Mac OS X installation CDs. I have data on the MAC.

    vickent, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    You need to post your question in the appropriate OS X forum. See below.
    Using OS X Panther 10.3 and earlier @ http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=745
    Using OS X Tiger 10.4 @ http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=758
    You need to provide more info when you repost your question. What model G4 do you have? What OS X version are you using? I doubt that you are using OS X 10.0.0, since it is obsolete. Has the Mac been operating OK before this problem occurred? Will the Mac boot from the Restore or install CD?
     Cheers, Tom

  • Bridge freezes when renaming files

    When I rename certain files or folders, Bridge freezes on this message:
    Updating the cache for items within the folder recursively...
    It doesn't happen with all files or folders, but I haven't been able to determine a pattern. I've also had issues with the previews associated with some files (I just get a gray box), so I'm thinking it's obviously a cache issue. I've cleared the cache multiple times with no success. Any ideas?
    I'm running OSX 10.6.7 (which brought with it lovely bug in PDFs with PostScript-flavored OpenType fonts), which might be an issue. I'm also using Dropbox 0.7.110, with three other users...there are a whole lot of files in Dropbox that constantly update, so I can see how that might affect it to.

    The players:   Photoshop, Bridge, Dropbox, Time Machine, Spotlight, Finder
    Photoshop
    creates a temp file, writes to the temp file, and renames the temp to
    replace the original file, plus gets stat on the files.
    Bridge only reads the file, and writes to it's database.
    Finder gets attributes on the file in the normal folders.
    Dropbox
    gets stat on the files from 2 different processes (Dropbox,
    dbfseventsd), even outside it's directory, even in temporary
    directories.
    Spotlight (mdworker, mds) gets stat, and reads the
    files, even in temporary directories, sometimes while the file is still
    being written.
    Time Machine (backupd) gets stats, reads the files, and sometimes sets attributes on the files, even in temporary directories.
    Photoshop, Bridge and Finder are acting as expected.
    While Dropbox and Spotlight are doing some excess work, they don't seem to cause file modifications.
    But
    Time Machine is doing things wrong and causing file modifications, plus
    would fit with the "have the file open a long time" symptom.
    and
    on my own system I've confirmed that Dropbox and dbfseventsd will get stats on files outside the Dropbox folder.
    Dropbox has some bugs to fix.

  • Acrobat Pro XI freezes when it starts... this can't happen

    Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.5
    Running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Intel Core 2.70 GHZ 16GB RAM laptop
    Problem: Program often freezes when it starts, for up to one minute.  Almost every time.
    Since purchasing Acrobat Pro XI we can't read any company documents reliably from this computer, where before (with the free version) we could.  Have searched for my problem but did not find anything pertaining to my version.  Based on reports of similar freezing problems with prior versions using "enhanced security",  I have tried changing my security settings.  Usually this has no effect.  Sometimes the program functions once or twice, or at least I think it does, because always the issue returns with a vengeance. Does Acrobat attempt some network communication in the background when it opens documents?  If that's what's happening can I stop it from all such secret communications?
    Help

    Hi,
    Thanks for reporting the issue.
    Is it happening with all Pdf files or any specific category of Pdf files or only with a specific Pdf file ?
    For investigation, please attach sample  PDF file, or you may share your email id for communication.
    please specify the OS platform details and Acrobat version !!
    Which printer you are using, and also please check the behavior While using AdobePDF or other printers (if available) to give a Print ?
    Thanks,

  • Incomplete Photoshop window and Bridge freeze-up

    I have just purchased a new imac: 2.66 i5, 4gb memory, ati radeon 4850 card, running the latest Leopard. (the base model 27``)  Just installed CS4 and have not had any success using it. Bridge freezes up immediately when opened and I have to force quit. Photoshop opens and I can work on images, however the only thing that seems to open are the tool bars. I have yet to see if I can save an image or do any serious work on it.  The central window where image view is retains whatever is on the screen from previous viewing with the working image overlayed, or just the desktop if no programs are running. I have done both the standard full install and a custom install, and I encounter the same issues. I have tried the script cleanup some have suggested, run every update I can find and nothing works.
    I do keep all my images on a maxtor external hardrive I used w/ my PC. I thought there was a hardware conflict so I pulled some images to a folder on the mac, but still bridge freezes before I can open a single image.
    My computer is only 2 weeks old and I have installed no other programs and this is my first mac.

  • IMac 2011, screen freezes and fans start spinning

    Hello,
    I have this really wierd problem with my iMac i5 2011 edition since a month or so...
    A lot of times when I am downloading or watching a movie or playing games under OSX on my iMac my screen slowly freezes, it always starts with my finder and then te rest goes, I get the marble of death and shortly after that the fans start spinning like crazy, they start slow but after a minute or so they make a lot of nice. Take in mind then I am unable to use my iMac in anyway, the mouse moves but it doesn't respond to clicks and also my keyboard doesn't respond, I keep getting the marble of death still.
    The wierd thing is that sometimes it doesn't do this for 2/3 days and sometimes it does it like 3/4 in an hour (have to restart manually). Also, this is very interesting, I have a version of Windows 7 installed on my iMac wich I use mainly for gaming and under windows it NEVER freezes in any kind, even when I game like 5/6 hours long straight.
    Therefor I thought it must be a software problem so I did a complete system reboot 2 days ago but that didn't help, already froze 3 times since...
    Can anyone help me? I still have 2 months of applecare but I have a LAN party soon so I am not to anxious to go 3 weeks without my iMac, maybe there is a simple solution that I am missing...

    Some things you can try:
    1. Try a new user account, create one in System Preferences -> Users and Groups, test to see if the issue still persists in this new user account, this will give us a lot of information. (if the problem is the same or it vanishes, let us know)
    2. Make sure all your software is up-to-date, Apple Logo -> Software update.
    3. Unplug all 3rd party devices, just keep in the necessary, Power, Keyboard + Mouse, no ethernet or external hard drives etc.
    4. Reset the PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    5. Reset the SMC http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    6. Boot to the recovery partition (CMD + R on startup until you see a spinning cog with an apple logo, then let go) -> Choose english as the main language -> Choose Disk Utility -> Select your hard drive from the left pane of Disk Utility (NOT Macintosh HD, the one that will look similar to: 1TB ST3200WAJS) -> Select the 'First Aid' tab -> Bottom right of the window it will say 'S.M.A.R.T Status: ________' ... What does it say after smart status?
    7. While still inside the Recovery Partition, select Macintosh HD -> First Aid (tab) -> Verify Disk -> Repair Disk (unless it says the volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK) -> Verify Disk Permissions -> Repair Disk Permissions (if there are differing permissions on the disk)
    Let us know if the issue still persists, but make sure you do all of those steps correctly and post back as much information as possible (PRAM takes two chimes at startup, unplug the power cable for 15 seconds, plug it back in, wait 5 seconds, turn on... make sure you follow all articles)
    Good Luck!
