CS3 Bridge will not launch tried 'ctrl' icon doesn't work.

Adobe Bridge has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
this is the message I get when i try to launch Adobe Bridge -
I called tech support & although I've spent $$$ for master collection CS3 - and so many other adobe programs/software for myself & others.. they are unwilling to offer any support other than a paid issue, which really chafes.
so here I am, throwing seeds into the wind hoping i can get back to work after wasting a nother day with this this.
there is no phantom instance of Bridge.
I have a wacom tablet. I cannot get to any 'preferences' screen with any combination of ctrl, alt, ****..
Bridge will not launch.
Help please? thanks

Curt Y answered this in another thread;
If you can not get the reset window, you are doing something incorrectly.
1. Bridge has to be closed. Check the Task Manager to make sure no copy is running in the background.
2. You have to press and HOLD the Crtl key when you click on the start icon for Bridge.
3. If successful you will get a reset window with 3 options.

the key point is step 2 HOLD... this is nowhere else in the forums..
so, again, thanks to Curt Y for the answer/
I checked all three boxes & Bridge did launch. Why is this so obscure.. and why could tech support just tell me that..
oh well.
again. thanks.

Bridge will not launching on PS CS4

I have windows XP. Bridge will not launch for CS4. We have tried to restore to a previous version, uninstalled and installed the program. Restored the previous versions of my plug in software. Bridge still wont launch. I can still gain access to my images through the control on the dropdown menu to open. Bridge is just a lot faster and more convenient. If anyone has any suggestions are can help that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Bridge CS4 has a Open at login option where it will open when you launch Windows. It will be in the system tray.
In Bridge:
Edit>Preferences>Advanced, "Start Bridge at logon" then restart Windows.
If that fails see if anyone in the Bridge forum can help. Bridge General Discussion

Bridge will not launch in Mac OSX 10.6.8

Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard (Mac OS) works fine except for Bridge which will not launch from Photoshop or from Applications, after 2 Uninstall/Reinstalls,and same attempts with new user account. Can anyone help?

Hi Gannett,
You are right. A couple of years ago, I had transferred all MacBook contents (including Photoshop Elements) to a new iMac. A freeze up of the new computer resulted (at Apple's suggestion) in using the old user account (from the MacBook). When I installed the Adobe Creative Suite this fall, Bridge would not launch. After days of frustrating troubleshooting and searching the web in vain, the case with Adobe escalated to Level 3; I spent over 4 hours on the phone with an Adobe expert (in Manila!) before this was solved by creating a new virgin account created (with nothing except the basic iMac software and the Adobe Suite on it. Gun shy of any further adjustments or migrations, I decided to keep the new user account strictly for my Creative Suite work. End of problem. Thanks for getting back to me, and Merry Christmas!

Adobe Bridge will not launch

Hello,
I’d be very grateful if you could help me please.
I have recently purchased Adobe Photoshop CS6 (from Amazon). I have installed it, but Bridge has only installed as 32bit, and this 32bit installation will not run. (Photoshop has installed as 32 and 64bit - I run 64bit on Windows 7.) When I try to launch Bridge my cursor spins for a second or two and then absolutely nothing happens. I have tried updating it from Adobe's site, but it has not made any difference.
Kind regards,
Ails123

I would be suspicious of the disk if Bridge only comes in 32 bit mode. Call Adobe and see if the serial number is legit.

Bridge will not launch from Illustrator CC

I am having issues with launching Bridge in Illustrator and After Effects. I have to manually launch it with the icon.

In preferences check to see it there are startup scripts for the app and if so see if they are checked. If no startup scripts they apps not made to communicate with each other.

CS6 Bridge Will Not Launch

My problem is that Bridge won't open or give any errors. It just gets hung up in the background and never opens. Seems to have started happening when I upgraded to the latest 10.10.2.
CS6
Mac OS 10.10.2
Mac mini (Late 2012)
I've uninstalled and reinstalled CS6 many times without any luck.
Also, created new user with no luck.
Photoshop launches fine.
ACR will launch files that were specifically Exported by Bridge which were worked in ACR in the past.
Tried starting holding option to disengage prefs, didn't work.

Hi,
Is this happening with Mini bridge or bridge or with both ?
In either case, try this :
1. restart machine
2 launch bridge directly
If its launched then try to close and then launch PS CS 6 and then try to launch Bridge from there.
Hope it helps !! As we would need more details for this issue.
Thanks,
Baljeet

Bridge will not launch

I have successfully downloaded Photoshop which is running okay. The trouble comes when trying to launch Bridge. It fails and I get a window with the message ‘Adobe Bridge CS6 has stopped working’ it then asks if I would like to check online for a solution, if I click the link the window just sort of fades out? Any ideas?

After upgrade, firefox will not launch says : you cannot open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecutre how can i get firefox to work again?

unable to launch firefox after I upgraded firefox

I see you are using a PPC Mac with OSX 10.5.8.
Either you can use the last release from Mozilla worked on PPC which is 3.6.*.
The current 3.6.22 is at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Or use a third-party build from http://tenfourfox.blogspot.com/2011/08/601-now-available.html
As of Firefox 4.0 and newer a '''Intel''' Mac and OSX 10.5+ is required.

Routine maintenance is imperative.
I still advocate Repairing Permissions (with Apple's Disk Utility) before AND after any system update or upgrade, as well as before AND after installing any software that requires an installer that asks for your password.
I have seen software installations go sour because the installer did not find everything as and where it should be.
I have also seen software installations go bad because the installer did not clean up after itself properly and did not leave everything as and where it should be.
This is just my own personal opinion and practice based on my own observations. Others may disagree and that's OK. I can only base my routines and my advice to others on my own experience and conclusion. I don't pretend to know why others believe otherwise.
Repairing Permissions after the fact (i. e. not immediately before and after an install) seldom helps.; Try it anyway, though.
====
Additionally, if your machine does not run 24/7 so that it runs the daily, weekly and monthly Cron Scripts in the middle of the night as intended by Apple, run Cocktail (shareware) as well.
Cron Scripts are maintenance routines designed by Apple to run on a daily, weekly and monthly basis in the middle of the night.
If you don't run them, you WILL run into trouble, sooner rather than later.
Here's an excerpt from the Apple tech doc
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107388
Mac OS X performs background maintenance tasks at certain times if the computer is not in sleep mode. If your computer is shut down or in sleep at the designated times, the maintenance does not occur. In that case, you may want or need to run these manually.
Mac OS X periodically runs background tasks that, in part, remove system files that are no longer needed. This includes purging older information from log files or deleting certain temporary items. These tasks do not run if the computer is shut down or in sleep mode. If the tasks do not run, it is possible that certain log files (such as system.log) may become very large.
Also, from:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106978
The disk activity generated by find is a normal part of file system maintenance, used for tasks such as removing invisible temporary files that are used by the system. It is scheduled to occur early in the morning at 03:15 everyday, 04:30 on Saturdays, and 05:30 on the first day of each month.
NOTE:
There have been comments to the effect that Apple "fixed" this in 10.4.2 and later versions of the OS, but I have not been able to verify this to my satisfaction. The reference in the 10.4.2 release notes are far from explicit on this subject.

If you have DiskWarrior, run it regularly too.

Adobe Illustrator will not launch when Flash is running

A few of our users have reported that once Flash is running Adobe Illustrator will not launch. We are moving from Windows XP SP2 to Windows XP SP3. The version of both Illustrator and Flash is CS2 (will be upgraded later to CS3).
This used to work on SP2 - anyone can give some hints on this?

Nobody ever solved this

ITunes64 will not launch

Downloaded & Installed iTunes v. 10..6.3.25. App will not launch; got any ideas?

From the Premiere Elements Information FAQ http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1042180
•What version of Premiere Elements? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Elements 9 with the 9.0.1 update).
•What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac"
•Are you using an account with Administrator Privileges?
•Have you installed any recent program or OS updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
•What kind(s) of image file(s)? When talking about camera raw files, include the model of camera.
•If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
•What were you doing when the problem occurred?
•What other software are you running?
•Tell us about your computer hardware. How much RAM is installed? How much free space is on your system (C:) drive?
•Has this ever worked before? If so, do you recall any changes you made to Premiere Elements, such as adding Plug-ins, brushes, etc.? Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers; or installing/uninstalling any programs?
And some other questions...
•What are you editing, and does your video have a red line over it BEFORE you do any work?
•Which version of Quicktime do you have installed?
What is your exact brand/model graphics adapter (ATI or nVidia or ???)
What is your exact graphics adapter driver version?
Have you gone to the vendor web site to check for a newer driver?
For Windows, do NOT rely on Windows Update to have current driver information
-you need to go direct to the vendor web site and check updates for yourself

After updating waterfox 12.0 to 15.0, but while launching from task bar its giving error not compatable version 15.0 min/max version 12.0

after updating waterfox 12.0 to 15.0, and i opend the app and pin it to the task bar (windows 7 64bit enterprise edition) but while launching from task bar its giving error not compatable version 15.0 min version 12.0 ,max version 12.0

Such an error is caused by some files that weren't updated successfully, so you are left with a mixture of files from different Firefox versions.<br />
There is usually some security software involved that protects .ini files against modification (update).
You will still have to do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a new copy of Firefox.

Firefox will not launch, but shows in task manager, after updating graphics drivers to AMD's 13.1.

Hi,
After updating to the AMD 13.1 drivers, on my 5770, Firefox will not launch; it does, however, show in the task manager. I should note that it will start in Windows safe mode; when I had it open in safe mode, I used that time to disable all plugins, add-ons, extensions, and created a new profile. This did not help. I also tried launching Firefox in to its safe mode, and had no luck with this either.
I experienced this problem once before, when trying to update to a previous version. I believe I was moving from 12.1 to 12.4, but I'm not 100% sure of that. Ultimately, my solution then was to retrograde back to my previous driver. The steps mentioned in the previous paragraph did not help at that time, not did a complete reinstall.
15 years of computer repair experience, and this has me baffled.
Thank you to anyone who might be able to help.
Possibly relevant specs.
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
AMD Phenom II x4
6BG Ram
AMD 5770 graphics, running Catalyst 13.1

By any chance, did you disable Firefox's use of hardware graphics acceleration? To avoid a round-trip through Windows Safe Mode, you could try adding these to your prefs.js file while Firefox is closed.
To quickly open the folder with the correct prefs.js file, you can use
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Because Firefox may overwrite change to this file at shutdown, you should edit it after closing Firefox and allowing a few moments for Firefox to finish updates to the files.
These are the preferences I think are most relevant:
user_pref("gfx.content.azure.enabled", false);
user_pref("gfx.direct2d.disabled", true);
Does that make any difference?
