Cannot open CS3 bridge

When I click on the bridge i
con in CS3, nothing happens.
I have a bridge shortcut on my desktop.
I can open Bridge from that, then when I select
a file to open in cs3 I get an error message that says
"windows cannot find F:\programfiles\adobe\adobephotoshopcs3\photoshop.exe"
There is no F drive on my computer. Can anyone help with this problem.

Try this.
Go to C:\Documents and Settings\[Your Username]\Application Data\Adobe\ and rename the 'Adobe Photoshop CS3' folder to 'Adobe Photoshop CS3_OLD'.
At the same location, rename the 'Bridge CS3' folder to 'Bridge CS3_OLD'. Now, hold down the CTRL key as you launch Bridge. It will prompt you to reset few setttings. Check all those boxes and click OK. Now, see how that works for you.
If this does not work, you may have to uninstall and reinstall CS3. I guess.

Cannot open CS6 Bridge. Always the same ERROR: Bridge has a problem and cannot read the cache

Cannot open CS6 Bridge. Always the same ERROR: Bridge has a problem and cannot read the cache

Try this. This is for CS6 but substitue CC and Bridge 6.
~library/caches/Adobe/Bridge CS6 and inhere should be 2 files:
Adobe Bridge Plug-in Cache
and the folder called Cache. Inhere should be 4 folders called '254', '1024', 'data' and 'full'
All those folders carry the content of the respective quality of the thumbs and preview as well as 100 % cache and Bridge database.
Any way, Since you have not used Bridge you have no relevant amount of cache and I would suggest you quit both PS and Bridge and manual delete both the items (plug in and folder called cache at the end of the Bridge CS6 path mentioned above.
(both files will refresh itself after a restart of Bridge).
To be on the save side also visit in same user library the folder Preferences and look for the file called "com.adobe.bridge5.plist" (yes it is Bridge 5 that comes with CS6, all Adobe apps have their own version number and they are presented in the same Suite version. CS6 has PS version 13 and Bridge version 5 )
also drag this file to the trash.
Then hold down option key (alt) while starting Bridge and this should give you the option to reset the preferences as mentioned earlier in this thread.
Choose reset prefs and try again.

Cannot Open 'CS3 file in CS2' - programmatically handle this dialog

I am running a Visual Basic app that cycles through a collection of InDesign documents performing actions. We are using CS2 and the problem occurs when a CS3 document is encountered, which hangs the app. When opening the file manually the following error dialog is encountered:
Cannot open "xxxx.indd". Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions, or upgrade to the lastest version of Adobe InDesign.
InDesign is launched by:
appInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Scripting.CS2")
User interaction is suppressed:
appInDesign.ScriptPreferences.UserInteractionLevel = InDesign.idUserInteractionLevels.idNeverInteract
Documents are opened by:
docInDesign = appInDesign.Open(<FilePath>, False)
How do you handle/identify this dialog/error without user interaction (I would like to skip the file)?
Thanks in advance

If you opening CS3 file in CS2 you alway get error message.
I think best solution is check indesign document version before opening it.
I have code for checking indesign version but it is Javascript code.
But it will give you idea how you can check indesign version and skip that files.
Here below is code:
f = File.openDialog ('Select file', undefined, false);
alert('Indesign version: '+getFileVersion(f));
function getFileVersion(f){
var IDVersion;
f.open('r')
f.seek(29, 0)
IDversion = f.readch().charCodeAt(0);
f.close();
return (IDversion);

Cannot open CS3 file in CC

So I finally stepped up to using Creative Cloud last week, but one file I created about 3 years ago in CS3 refuses to open. It worked fine the first time - and I don't have issues with any other old files - but now I get the error message "Cannot open". I'm using a Macbook Pro, but can't even open the file on my old PC now! Any suggestions?

Ouch. Not much help now, but working off a USB stick is REALLY dangerous. Those things take longer to close files than people realize and pulling them out before things are done can cause real damage.
There's a free tool that might help, though: Repair corrupt InDesign Adobe files on Mac OS X
But keep looking for that backup.

I recently reloaded my CS3 version after I had been experiencing issues, but since then I cannot open Adobe Bridge

My Adobe Bridge will not open, after a reload. The recommended setting was for windows XP Service pack three.

Your download or install of the update may have been corrupt. Visit the Mac App Store and re-download the update or visit http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1726 and download the 10.9.2 update combo and re-install.
If that fails to solve the problem please post back and post a EtreCheck Report which you can locate at:

Cannot open CS3 Help Files

Windows XP Pro; SP3; CS3
Following hard drive failure I downloaded CS3 to new hard drive. Individual applications downloaded and opened OK however I cannot access help file for any of the CS3 applications. When I open Indesign or Photoshop Help from the Help drop down menu, the Adobe Help Viewer 1.1 appears. When I fill in the Browse and Search boxes on the Viewer screen and hit enter, a list of help topics appears. When I click on any one of those topics, the Viewer screen remains empty with the exception of the cursor arrow and hourglass. How can I access help files for CS3?

Sounds like the uninstall using the cleanup tool was not complete (and I feel like we're leading you deeper into the abyss, but I don't know what else to tell you). I'd see if you can "repair" from the installer disk, or run the cleanup again.
As I said before, the CS3 installer was the worst in Adobe history and would fail for the slightest provocation. It's VERY important that nothing that could conflict is running while you install, and you should be logged into the Administrator Accont for best results. One of the things that I forgot to mention earlier as a known problem is flash player, and you should uninstall that. There was a special tool for one of the versions that was likely to be on systems running CS3, but I'm on the raod and this machine is not loaded with a lot of my reference materials, so I don't have that link. It will be mentioned in earlier threads about CS3 installation problems from several years ago if you search.
As for the the latest error message you see, if my memory is correct, that one is fixed with this: Flexnet Patch. The description would lead you to believe it works only on Vista, but it does run on XP (and I needed to use it myself at one point).

Cannot Open Photoshop & Bridge

I just installed PS CS5 Student & Teacher Edition on my iMac. When I try to open PS or Bridge it tells me that it is unavaliable or incomplete. The installation completed without any errors. What is the problem?
Thanks

You might want to provide you OS-information.

Cannot open CS3 from Lightroom

Lightroom will not now open the image into CS3.
Worked OK before.
Any idea's, please.

>"Hi Pierre, when you said "upgrade", you mean CS3 full install or using using the upgrade CDs? If using the upgrade CDs, (unless you don't need existing CS2 to be on the drive) wouldn't you need the CS2 to be installed first before using the upgrade CDs?
Also, when you said "unregistered", does that mean running the Disk Repair utility to repair the permissions?"
I was loose with my terminlolgy - I bought a new version of CS3. Before installing it, I deactivated CS2 (or whatever the term is - this unregistered the product at Adobe). Then I used AppZapper (Mac) to delete CS2 and all it's associated files, then installed CS3.
Why didn't I buy the upgrade? I'm an educator and get the educational version - $285 is much better than $999 for PSCS3 extended!

Cannot Open Adobe Bridge

Hi, I recently downloaded a trial version of Creative Cloud. However I have not been able to review it as Bridge wont load and I get the following error message. "The operation could not be completed".
Request your assistance before I purchase the complete version. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the entire package including CC, Photoshop & Bridge. I keep keep getting the same error message. I have tried pressing down the option key and resetting prefrences. This would not work either.
Please help.

Cannot open image files in PS CS3 from Bridge CS3

Cannot open file in Photoshop CS3 (10.0.1) from Bridge CS3 (2.1.1.9)
Tried choosing File>Open and double clicking the image thumbnail
Error dialogue box pops up and reads:
Windows cannot find\C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS\Photoshop.exe
I wouldnt expect CS\Photoshop.exe to be found because CS3\Photoshop.exe upgrade is installed.
Will downloading the Adobe Photoshop update for Adobe Photshop CS3 (11/15/2007) or Adobe Bridge CS3 update for Adobe Bridge CS3 (11/15/2007) be my best bet for correcting this problem?

Thanks to Freeagent for pointing me to the solution.
For fellow Windows XP user's:
Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types
It would have been nice if the Install Wizard of PS would have handled this automatically or had an advisory instruction to manually associate image files in Windows XP.
I thought all along this was a Photoshop CS3 / Bridge CS3 problem since Bridge was calling for both the image file and Photoshop.
If Freeagent has anyone's ear at Adobe please pass this on.
Thanks Again

Cannot open file from Bridge after saving in Photoshop CS3

I was working on three images in Photoshop CS3, when I went to open them from Bridge for review, two of three files were reduced to tiny white squares with a dogear in the top right corner, a little blue bounding box containing three tinier red green and blue somethings so small I couldn't even see what they were with my jewellery spec.
Nothing happened when I clicked on them, no error message, nothing. I managed to get one of them in 'reveal' - which opened up a larger blue bounded box with the red button containing a cross with the message 'cannot open as not right kind of file'.
What to do please? I don't want to spend hours on an image and hope it will open afterwards. Thankyou.

Thankyou for taking the time to respond. I did notice that I'd forgotten to place a . after the file name and before the extension - ie soiphotopsd, instead of soiphoto.psd, and renamed them and the opened as psds. I would have thought that Photohop CS3 with all it's bells and whistles could have provided a helpful popup/error message to this effect when saving images though!
I still have an old file I haven't been able to open, the icon of which is simply a small blue and white box with the letters pmg on the bottom. I tried to rename the file same as, but nothing seemed to work so far. Will just keep plugin away - forgive the pun.
Thanks again.

I cannot open files in Bridge

Suddenly I cannot use bridge in CS3. I can use a shortcut to open the bridge page. Then when I try to open an image I get a box that
says "Windows cannot find F:\programfiles\adobe\adobephotoshopcs3\photoshop.exe"
This is way outside my computer skills. I don't even have and F drive on my computer. It is as if Bridge is looking for an execute
file on a drive that does not exist. Also, when I click the bridge icon in cs3, nothing happens. Also, when I go to files-browse
in cs3, again nothing happens.
I tried the shift-ctrl-alt and checked the three choices but nothing seems to work. I don't know if this is a bridge problem or
my computer is trying to open file in a non-existent drive. Whatever, it is very frustrating. Would it help if I uninstall CS3 and
reinstall, or is there some simple correction that I am not aware of.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

If it worked before and you have not changed anything, I would try to reset the preferences as a first step.
Hold down the Crtl key and cilick the desktop start icon for Bridge. You will get a reset window, choose all 3 options.
If it is asking for something you don't have it probably has a contaminated file. A re-install will probably not change that.

RAW will not open in Bridge CS3

I cannot open a RAW file in Bridge CS3--there is no "open RAW.." in the menus, the shortcuts do not work. I will only open RAWs in PSCS3. I have the Extended version.
I have tried reseeting the settings in both Bridge and PS. Makes no difference.
Any help would be very appreciated!

Have you tried a completely clean install from scratch--OS + CS3?
That will work for sure, but it means starting over with your computer OS install from scratch--a completely clean full format of your disk before starting.
There is obviously something on there that conflicts with it now. The same thing happened to a guy I work with. He tried for two weeks. I had the same problem on one of my machines. I simply started from zero, and so did he. Works perfectly. On my other machine it went right on without a hitch along with the other twenty or so apps that were already on there! Go figure.
Look at it this way, if you want ACR 4 in Bridge, starting over will probably take about one tenth the time you've spent trying to troubleshoot it!

CS3 - Cannot open RAW files

I am new to the forum. I just purchased a new PC w/Windows 7 (64 bit). CS3 was reinstalled on the new PC. Now I cannot open RAW files. The error message states "Could not complete request because it is not the right kind of document." Adobe tech support advised me that Adobe products currently do not support the 64 bit. I have no clue how to proceed. Help!!!!!

I, too, am new to this forum,
so please excuse me if this seems redundant. Last night I downloaded an
upgrade of CS3 onto my HP computer. It runs Windows 7.
I remembered that I had to download a new ACR software, after the RAW file would not open in CS3. I downloaded the software, extracted ACR, but it will not open. On top of that, Bridge is telling me that it may not be compatable with the OS of my HP.
Any help will be appreciated.
