Bridge stops working in CS5

Bridge seems to hang when I try to delete files and when I try to change work spaces. Can I reinstall Bridge independently of Photoshop CS5?

I used to say 20% but some thought that was overkill.  So thanks for the reinforcement.
I still think that is overkill...
And what I hate the most about it that it is percentages, having old disks with 250 or even 500 GB I can imagine 50 GB  (my rule is 10 %) might bring you in trouble. Yet current HD have 1 to 2 TB (more coming fast) 10 % free space is almost as much as my total disk size of 6 to 7 years back.
Yet with less then 200 GB free space on a 2 TB HD soon the performance starts to decrease (and I also have a separate 150 GB WD Velociraptor almost totally dedicated as Scratch Disk for PS). There might be a perfect technical explanation for this (please let me know if you do have the facts!) but the logic is far behind.
The need of 20 or even 30 % free space also means a quarter of inefficiency. To me that means also 25 % useless spend money, 25 % less space you thought you had when it came out of the box and as said, if somebody can explain the logic of all this I would be very glad to hear it!

  • Bridge Stops Working

    After using Adobe Bridge CS5.1 successfully for a year with no problems, it no longer functions.  It opens with "Bridge stopped working" and shuts down.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Yes, everyones' does. It  crashes several times a day. Click relaunch and it relaunches. Most of the times. Everybody who needs the bridge, hates the bridge.

  • Bridge stopped working

    Using windows 7 64 bit and Adobe Master Collection CS5.1  Been in use on machine over a year with no problems. I was importing photos from the files of a DVD slideshow. I removed the DVD from the computer and did not wait for the cashe to rebuild. Then I attempted to open Bridge again. Bridge attempted to open. Adobe Bridge Cs5.1 has stopped working: "Windows is searching for a solution to the problem…", but does not find a solution.
    Tried "Hold down the Option key if on a Mac, the Control key if Windows, as you relaunch Bridge until you get a dialog box and select all three options to reset prefs when the dialog box comes up." This did not help.

    The forum is not dead; moribund, perhaps. :-)
    You do realize that this is a user forum, don't you?  This is not a conduit to address Adobe.

    My use of Windows is, mercifully, restricted to an absolute minimum these days, otherwise I would have attempted to extract more information from you about your machine and system.
    At this point, I don't have more Windows tricks to offer you other than to uninstall and do a complete re-install of Photoshop.

    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,

  • Mini Bridge not working in CS5

    I cannot get Mini Bridge to work in Photoshop CS5.  When I try to start it, the panel opens and the spinning symbol starts but I get the message "Waiting for Bridge CS5..." and it never makes it past that.  I have tried both with Bridge already open and Bridge closed, no difference. "Start Bridge at logon" is checked in preferences.   Any help will be appreciated.

    Hi,
    Try the solutions listed in the following tech note:

  • Bridge "stops working" and displays split thumbnails and previews.

    When working with Windows XP, my Photoshop/Bridge CS3 was working fine. On my new computer with Vista, Bridge acts up in strange ways. It sometimes shuts down spontaneously, causing a Windows "Bridge has stopped working" message to appear.
    At other times, Bridge displays thumbnails that are split or only half there, with the preview image also split in half with the sides reversed. If I wait a few minutes, the proper thumbnails and preview finally appear, but this is a nuisance. BTW, the same copy of Bridge works just fine on my laptop with XP. When I contacted Adobe, they blamed it on Windows. When I contacted Windows, they blamed it on Adobe. Anyone with similar problems and suggested fix?
    Thanks!

    Hi Gerry,
    as it is nearly two months since your initial post, you may have already solved your problem. In which case I'll continue with this reply for the benefit of anyone else who suffers the same affliction:
    My problem was Bridge CS3 running on a 32-bit Vista Home Premium SP1, Intel Core 2 CPU T5300 @ 1.73GHz and 2GB of RAM (if that makes any difference). Like Curt, I'm no computer expert either but I was experiencing a very similar problem to your's in CS3 Bridge.
    The error message contained something about the "nvlddmkm.sys" not working. The 'nvlddmkm.sys' refers to the driver for my graphics card, a 'NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300', whose driver I had recently updated (to solve a separate conflict between an updated BIOS - it never stops!).
    After some fiddling, I discovered that changing the 3D Graphics setting on the Nvidia Control Panel made Bridge once again behave.
    Open the Nvidia Control Panel (right click on the 'desktop' to access it).
    Under the '3D Settings' task, select 'Adjust Image Settings with Preview'. This should reveal a window with an image of a slowly spinning, three-dimensional Nvidia logo. (I understand that the Nvidia Control Panel is common to all its cards.)
    Under the spinning logo image there are three options for 3D settings. On my computer, while my Bridge was broken, the "Use my preference emphasizing: Balanced" option was selected. I changed the option to, "Let the 3D application decide" and crikey! - when I restarted Bridge the previews were once again working. (It may be my imagination, but Bridge appears to now be going better than ever.)
    I switched the Nividia preferences a couple of times just to make sure. The change appeared to have done the job.
    NB: I noticed another discussion in the forums entitled "Suddenly No Images in Bridge" which appears to be a similar problem. They resolved it this way;
    "Depress and hold Ctrl-Alt-Shift when you start PS or Bridge. A menu comes up with three options. Check them all."
    I didn't see that fix until I had sorted mine so I haven't tried it... but now that 'it ain't broke', I 'ain't gonna fix it'!
    Hope this helps you or someone else.

  • My spacebar/hand panning tool has stopped working Ai CS5

    I'm working on a university lab computer that has CS5 on it.  I don't think I pressed any random hand commands to disable the spacebar panning tool, but it has stopped working and it's getting really annoying.  Anyone else ever have similar problems and how did you fix it??

    I have this problem across the suite -- in Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. Strangely, the problem turned out to be some kind of conflict with the Chrome browser. When I quite Chrome, the spacebar starts working properly again.
    I've seen people saying that the same thing has happened with Firefox, so it might be a more general bug with the system accessing the web while Adobe apps are running. It seems to happen in particular when I am using Gmail or any site that uses a lot of AJAX (Twitter seems to trigger it as well) and is constantly refreshing in the background, but that may just be a coincidence.
    Hope this helps!

  • Why did my Filmstrip function in CS6 Bridge stop working?

    I've been using Photoshop CS6  Bridge for about a year now.  Just recently the Filmstrip function stopped working.  I click on it and nothing happens.  Everything else works - Essentials, Metadata, and Output. It's been this way for a couple of weeks.  Rebooting doesn't fix it.  I've never had this happen with any of the versions of Bridge over the years.

    Thanks Curt.  I just figured it out.  I right clicked on Filmstrip which gave me an option of Reset in the drop down menu.  I clicked on Reset and got my Filmstrip view back.

  • CS6 Bridge Stops Working

    My CS6 bridge is crashing. I have CS6 Master Suite edition. When I open it up regularly or as administrator it opens up fine but when I either click on a file or a photo I receive a message that Bridge CS6 has stopped working.
    Also my Mini Bridge in Photoshop CS6 is not working. I receive a message that says it is waiting for Bridge but the message never disappears & Mini Bridge never opens.

  • Edit camera raw in Bridge stopped working CS5 (and star rating removed)

    I have always had the 'double click edits camera raw settings in Bridge' setting enabled.  Half way through editing a batch of 1000 images, instead of opening in Bridge the image opened in Photoshop.  I checked the selection in Bridge, re-enabled it, closed Bridge and opened a few times, re-enabled again, re-booted my system, but it still opens raw files in Photoshop.  This is extremely irritating as I now have to switch windows every time I go to do the next edit.  I don't need Photoshop running for 90% of the edits I am doing.  I made no changes to my system during the time that I was editing.
    Any ideas?
    Stuart
    PS
    At the same time as this error occurred Bridge now removes star ratings as in the following sequence:
    1  Give image 3 *
    2  Double click to edit and raw file opens in Photoshop
    3  Edit and save image.
    4  Click done and return to Bridge
    5  The 3 * rating has been removed and the saved jpg also has 0 *
    PPS
    I have partly solved the problem.  I normally convert to DNG but did not do so on this occasion.  In the batch were files from a Canon 5D and and Canon 5D mkII.  A very small number of the 5D files have the problem above.  I converted all these to DNG and I can edit normally.  But I am still at a loss as to why some files exhibit this strange behaviour.
