Can't Open Bridge CS6

I have read other posts about problems opening Bridge CS6, and I have found no solution.  I have Windows 8, and just purchased CS6.  I had tried to install my old CS2 program originally, with no luck.  I see Adobe provided two updates to fix the "bugs" people were having with Bridge, but they have not helped.  Can someon from Adobe help me?

This is a user to user forum, and Adobe rarely enters into the discussion.  You best bet is to do as you did and read the other posts.  If you want Adobe help you will have to call them or enter into an online chat.  Best to make notes of what it does or does not do - error messages, etc.

  • Can't open Bridge CS6 on start up

    When I start CS6 and go to open Bridge -  CS5 Bridge starts up and not CS6 Bridge . The onley way I can open CS6 Bridge is to go to the task Manager / processes and stop bridge .exe

    Richard,
    You can safely remove Bridge CS5 if you no longer use it. This way it should default to Bridge CS6 when you try to initiate Bridge.

    When opening Bridge (CS6) I get the following message: "Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in Cache Preferences to correct the situation" I tried and after selecting purge cache it does not allow me to select OK. Also Bridge keeps saying "Building Criteria" with the spinning wheel and nothing happens. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. Please help:)

    Maybe a Preferences reset can help:
    Numerous program settings are stored in the Adobe Bridge preferences file, including display, Adobe Photo Downloader, performance, and file-handling options.
    Restoring preferences returns settings to their defaults and can often correct unusual application behavior.
    Press and hold the Ctrl key (Windows) or the Option key (Mac OS) while starting Adobe Bridge.  
    In the Reset Settings dialog box, select one or more of the following options:  
      Reset Preferences 
    Returns preferences to their factory defaults. Some labels and ratings may be lost. Adobe Bridge creates a new preferences file when it starts.
    Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache
    Purging the thumbnail cache can help if Adobe Bridge is not displaying thumbnails properly. Adobe Bridge re-creates the thumbnail cache when it starts.
    Reset Standard Workspaces
    Returns Adobe predefined workspaces to their factory default configurations.
    Click OK, or click Cancel to open Adobe Bridge without resetting preferences.   

  • Can't Open Bridge Images in Photoshop

    Upgraded Photoshop CS5 to CS6, Windows 7. Uninstalled CS5. Now can't open Bridge images in Photoshop.

    Thanks, problem solved!
    The first thing I did was check the file associations which, indicating “Photoshop”, I assumed was OK.
    But then, motivated by your suggestion, I checked more carefully and found that “Photoshop” was pointing to an earlier version.
    Next I “browsed” and reset the association to the Photoshop CS6 .exe file and now images in Bridge open in Photoshop just like they used to.

  • I can't open Bridge CC

    Hi
    I can't open Bridge CC

    It sounds like your windows registry is messed up.  That you may have had cs5 at one time and upgraded to cs6 than got a subscription and installed  Photoshop CC.  You than followed that with an uninstall of CS6 which backed out its registry update and restored  windows registry Photoshop.exe key to what it replaced your old CS5 path.   Since CS5 is no longer on you machine  you get that message.  Use regedit search for key Photoshop.exe and correct the path to Photoshop CC 2014...

    Can I use Bridge CS6 as a central image database for linking to multiple documents?

    It's only really good for Adobe document formats, if you want to be able to view and/or tag documents.

    Moving this discussion to the Bridge General Discussion forum.

  • Since upgrading to Yosemite I can't open Illustrator CS6

    Since upgrading to Yosemite I can't open Illustrator CS6 - it gives me an error message saying I need to install Java SE 6.
    Of course I have no idea where or how to find the downgrade to legacy Java SE 6 and eveyrtime I put the error into your search bar I get a Dreamweaver How to install Java SE 6 note.... and If I could apply that advice to my  illustrator error I would but I don't get an option to install ...
    SIGH I need this to work now-this is my lively hood
