CS6 Bridge/Win 7 freezes

First week or so of using Bridge CS6 all went well, now having lots of slow downs/freezes/delays that eventually clear up (when browsing a folder of files). Once I'm able to open a file in ACR performance is fine, but this is making Bridge unsuable for workflow. Is this a known problem and is a fix coming?
JW

I've had the same issue with windows 7 x64
Bridge CS6 (32 bit and 64 bit) hangs when opened for 20-30 seconds. Every operation after that (even clicking on the file menus) results in the same delay.
More than one operation (ie clicking on an image then trying to navigate to a folder) causes teh window to "white out" and show a "not responding" status in the title bar.
Mini-bridge in photoshop is the same.
I've tried updating the app, disabling scripts, editing ACR settings, running as admin, checking temp file paths, disabling antivirus/anti-spyware, checking firewall settings, pulling out hair, doing a rain dance, voodoo dolls and uninstalling/cleaning/re-installing the suite (production premium trial)
No effect at all
Bridge CS6 sucks right now. Please fix it Adobe
Please?
I use CS5.5 as it is and bridge is an essential part of my workflow.
I have managed to figure out a work-around though. I run the program in compatibility mode for Windows Vista (any version) and it runs fine

CS6 Bridge freeze using Homegroup network

I installed CS6 Photoshop two days ago and am having problems with Bridge.
I have a network using a Windows Homegroup between my desktop PC (ROB_PC), and a laptop (JUDE_PC) in another room, linked by my broadband router. When both machines are on I can use Bridge to access (read/copy/delete) files on the laptop by clicking on the folder in Bridge - see screen shot below (it's the folder called RAW). I can also, of course, access the laptop files in Windows. If the laptop is shut down and I try to use Bridge, I get a system freeze on Bridge and have to cancel Bridge and restart the laptop to get Bridge going again. It seems to want access to the laptop, even though I'm not looking at any folders on the laptop with Bridge, and the laptop is not switched on.
This morning I can't even load Bridge. Both computers were switched off overnight, but when I switched my PC on and left the laptop off Bridge will not load at all. This happens even when the last used folder in Bridge is NOT the remote laptop, so I can't understand why bridge is still looking for it when it starts. Does it need access to ALL folders on a normal network, even if I haven't requested to look at those folders? That doesn't seem right to me.
Do I need to disconnect from the network?

Thanks for the reply, Curt.
I have made some progress, but still don't know what's going wrong.
1. I can load CS5 Bridge OK and it works fine, even with the other PC (laptop) switched off. As soon as I try CS6 Bridge it freezes.
2. I just unistalled all of CS5 (Photoshop and Bridge). So now I just have CS6. That made no difference - still freezing on Bridge when laptop swithed off. When laptop is on, Bridge works fine. I loaded Bridge with the laptop on then switched off the laptop while Bridge still loaded. As soon as the laptop went off, Bridge stopped. When I switched laptop back on Bridge resumed working - without me touching bridge (I just watched the PC screen). Bridge is definitely trying to look at the whole of my network, and if it finds the laptop off it freezes.
3. Getting desperate... I went to my Broadband router (BT) and did a router restart with the switch on the side. That fixes it! Bridge runs OK with the laptop off. One might assume it's a router problem - but why was it working OK on CS5?
I suppose doing a router restart is an easy work-around, but it shouldn't happen. Anyone else have a problem in this area?

Photoshop CS6 Bridge freezes on loading image into Photoshop

CS6 Bridge, text in the Folder window freezes following loading of an image from Bridge into PhotosShop CS6. Bridge is render useless. Closing Photoshop frees up Bridge. Bridge does not refresh the type in the folders window and occassionaly leaves partial tiles of images in the content window. This occures esch time an image is loaded from Bridge into Photoshop.

Hi Jeff,
I have the latest video drive for Win-7 64x.
Thank you for the tip, in searching for the driver info I discovered under "Start" > "All Programs" > "Nvidia Corporation" > "3D Vision" > "Disable 3D Vision". By disabling the "3D Vision" in this "All Programs" menu cured the problem. Kind of a strange place for a "switch".
Sure hope that this helps someone else as this was a very frustrating problem!

CS6 Bridge freezes with a cache problem Windows 7

I get a pop up when bridge starts,its someyhing new.
It says
Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read cache.Please try purging the central cache in
Cache Preferences to correct the situation.
I do that and Bridge just freezes.
Do I need to alter the preferences,they are set on default even though Ive just not had a problem like this before.
any help appreciated.

Hello Curt thank you for your input.
Id tried that but to no avail so in the end after uninstalling once again but this time using the adobe cleaner afterwards Ive reinstalled from scratch, set the cache folder to be on my scratch drive which is an SSD and un ticked keep 100% previews in Cache .
Also automatically export cache to folders when possible.Ive updated it and all is working OK now.
It has been a reall ball ache and If a lot of reconfiguring to do but hey ho,its working so job done

Camera raw 8.7.0.309 update. Now Photoshop cc, cs6, Bridge cc will not open raw anymore

Did the update for camera raw 11-26-2014, Now as stated in headline. Only the Lightroom update is working. Photoshop goes threw the motions, little cycle. then just sets there. Nothing loads, the cycle goes away. and nothing. Bridge just freezes, Photoshop cs6 Nothing.
At first the update did not work on bridge or Photoshop cc. got a error. had to do a work around to get it to install from cloud by renamimg a folder 1.0 and letting cloud re-create it. then the update worked.
But tried the camera raw right after the first update with error.
that's when Raw stopped working. But even after a successful update. It still don't work.
Note: before tempting this update. It all worked. now the only raw editor working is lightroom 5.7 Raw 8.7.
Yes rebooted, yes researched and found nothing.
Windows pc
windows 7
Thank you in advance

Thank you for your kind advice and interest in my problem.
I tested:
c:\in\v -folder is the one that jpg is read
c:\in\vlc is folder that the camera raw saves jpg
original file name was:
HIETALAHTI, TENAVAMUSKARI_VAASAN SUOMALAISEN SEURAKUNNAN PÄIVÄKERHO_cpy004_5000_02.jpg
it is truncated into:
HIETALAHTI, TENAVAMUSKARI_VAASAN SUOMALAISEN SEURAKUNNAN P.jpg
I shortened the original file name and removed the scandinavian A with dots on top of it and the comma from ther file name:
HIETALAHTI TENAVAMUSK_VAASAN SUOMAL SRK PAIVAKERHO_cpy004_5000_02.jpg
truncates to:
HIETALAHTI TENAVAMUSK_VAASAN SUOMAL SRK PAIVAKERHO_cpy004_5.jpg
the scandinavian alphabet is not a problem (the file names are not always clipped in their position).but causes some extra truncating:
HIETALAHTI-TENAVAMUSKARI_VAASAN SUOMALAINEN PÄIVÄKERHO_CPY00.jpg turns into:
HIETALAHTI-TENAVAMUSKARI_VAASAN SUOMALAINEN PÄIVÄKERHO_CP.jpg
and
HIETALAHTI-TENAVAMUSKARI_VAASAN SUOMALAINEN PÄIVÄKERHO_CPY0.jpg into same
HIETALAHTI-TENAVAMUSKARI_VAASAN SUOMALAINEN PÄIVÄKERHO_CP.jpg
This is why I havent found a good rule in this.
In camera raw the whole file name shows under the preview image but in saving the image the file naming example is truncated.
Even the longest of our file names worked flawlessly for several years until maybe two weeks ago.
60 characters is top length that did not truncate in this testing

Why wont my .vst plugins work in cs6 on win 7 pro 64 bit

why wont my .vst plugins work on my new os ,win 7 pro 64 bit, i have cs6 and cc installed, they worked fine when it was on xp pro.. even if it finds them and you can bring them up it crashes cs6, any advice is helpful, thanks!!

But i really want them to work in cs6, i heard you have to use j bridge to use .vst's in cc, is this true..
Yes.
I just dont understand why they wont work in win 7 pro 64 bit , is it an os problem or is it a cs6 problem, when i had cs6 in win xp pro, was it installed as a 32 bit program, if thats the case can i load a 32 bit version of cs6>>>??? thanks!!
It's not the OS - W764Pro can run 32-bit software fine in emulation. Your problem is that there is no 32-bit version of CC. It was widely circulated before release that this was going to be 64-bit only, and that you would need bridging software to run old 32-bit VST plugins.
Apparently, jbridge works fine once you've got it installed and everything in the correct place. I wouldn't know though, because I don't use it - I only use a small number of 64-bit plugins directly. On those few occasions that I want to use a 32-bit plugin, I run it in CS6 Audition (which isn't the CC version, but is 32-bit). So yes, if you have the 32-bit program you can run them in that. Both versions of the software will co-exist quite happily on the same machine, and won't interact at all - except that you have to be careful with your sound device settings.

Bridge CS4 freezes when I open a folder with avi files

Whenever I navigate to a folder with avi files, Bridge CS4 freezes. I have tried resetting my preferences, changing the file associations, but it still hangs. Both Windows and Bridge are set up to associate avi files with VLC Media Player. The files open and play just fine in VLC. I am running CS4 on a Win XP Pro machine. It used to not be a problem and I could play avi files in Bridge. I'm not sure when the problem started since I don't shoot a lot of video. Any ideas?

Thx for that im gonna try it....but is there a way to do it without using toolbar or cmd-c...? i mean using only the mouse?why does it have to highlight the file even though i click a bit next to it....?using icon view i can right click next to the folder and i wont have a problem but with list view that i prefer using it will highlight the whole row.....and i dont find free space to right click cause i got many files

Bridge CC freezes and I cannot reset preferences

Built a new PC with Win 8.1. Downloaded CC. Bridge, which I use professionally, keeps stalling. Using arrow keys on keyboard to navigate photos doesn't work: push an directional arrow key and Bridge goes into clocking mode (freezes while mouse cursor spins). Bridge has crashed multiple times causing my PC to reboot.
The Adobe Help suggests resetting Preferences by pushing Shift+Ctrl+Alt. I do that and Bridge goes into clocking mode, but the reset preferences dialog never appears.
Steps I've taken so far:
The CC component is installed on my SSD drive, while all of the CC apps are on my WD Black hard drive. I noticed Bridge is using cache on the SSD. I created a new cache dir on the WD hard drive, but that didn't resolve anything.
I disabled all startup scripts. No improvement.
I uninstalled and re-installed Bridge. No improvement.

Having spent my entire day troubleshooting, I have determined that I am combating 2 separate issues:
1) Bridge CC freezing when navigating menus and photos, lengthy freezing when navigating photos in Content window with arrow keys. <-- RESOLVED
2) Bridge CC and LightBridge CC crashing and causing PC to reboot when attempting to utilize cache containing RAW photos.
For #1, I have nearly identified the culprit. I removed the brand new Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 video card and uninstalled the GeForce 344.11 driver set, and am now using the onboard video (Intel Graphics HD). I re-installed Bridge CC and now the freezing has completely vanished. So the issue is either the latest driver or the GeForce card itself, or both. I plan to return the card.
For #2, I think the issue is totally associated to the Adobe cache mechanism. Screenshot of LR error after LR crashed and PC rebooted...

CS6 Bridge Under Windows 8 Slow Response

When I use CS6 Bridge in Windows 8 (64 bit) it takes about 10 seconds to open a folder. I select an image from the grid and press the spacebar to see it full size. It takes another 10 seconds. If I go to the Menu Bar and click on an item such as Window it takes about 10 seconds to get the drop down list, but if I then slide the cursor over to View and click on it, the menu appears right away and if I then click on Full Screen Preview, the full size image appears immediately. When I check the Widows Resource Monitor there is no unusual activity occurring during these 10 second intervals. It is as if the program is in a wait state pending some event.
When I was running CS6 under Windows 7 (32 bit) everything worked fine. When I run CS4 Bridge on Windows 8 (64 bit) it also runs fine. I have purged the cache, and increaed cache size but to no avail. My system has lots of processing speed, memory and disk space.
Does anyone know what I could do to get CS6 Bridge running correctly in my Windows 8 environment?   Is it possible that there is some kind of incompatibility with
Bridge, Windows 8 and the GPU?

I discussed this "solution" with Adobe back in July. Here is their response.
"There really should be no reason that running in Vista compatability mode would change the behavior of the application. Vista and 7 are so similar at the fundamental level that there shouldn't be any advantage.   Really, this is likely pointing to a lack of OS updates being installed, or installed improperly. One person mentioned that a new user account fixed things. I have a feeling that would true of more folks who are willing to try it. I'll run this by my collegues though."
But if it works it is better than the alternative.    curt
Surprisingly the bit about trying it under a different or new user actually works here. All the aggruvating 5 to 10 second long freezes disappear when used under a fresh account.
Ok, so how can that be parlayed into being able to use Bridge CS6 under my own account?
Does the fact that it works as expected under a new fresh account point to something particular that needs changing or adjustment under my regular account?
The Adobe staff person seems to think it is most likely a problem of (lack of) updates or incorrectly installed updates, but that would not have any bearing if changing to a new account fixes the problem would it?
PS - How does one run in Vista compat mode?

Browse animation effects causing Bridge to freeze

Every time I select browse effects from the animation menu, Adobe Bridge launches (as expected).
When I navigate to the "Text/Blurs" folder and open it, Bridge freezes.
I know I can add an effect to my text without resorting to Bridge, but I'm following
Adobe's Classroom in a box and selecting this method to preview an effect is
causing Bridge to freeze.

Make sure your AE and your Bridge are up to date. There was a problem in earlier builds. Also, the Animation Effects previews in Bridge are resource intensive little buggers. Make sure that you have allocated an even number of MB of ram to other apps and you're not starving your system. If you only have 8 GB give 4 to other apps and 4 to AE, if you have 16 then you can give 4 to others and 12 to AE.

Mac CS6 Bridge will not open

I know this has been discussed a lot on the forums and I have read all of those, but I am frustrated after 3 weeks of working on this. I bouht my wife Photoshop CS6 for xmas and loaded on our iMac running 10.8.2. She was running Elements 8. CS6 Bridge will not open. Get a message "operation can not be completed". It will also not open from inside Photoshop either. Following other posts, went into Library and deleted switchboard folder, plist files, and other listed files. Did an option start on CS6 and reset to factory, delete thunbnails. Performed PRAM and disk permissions repair. None of this has fixed the problem. The only thing that works is creating a new user account. Bridge opens fine in my test account. Next step is to make test account the main account; however, this is going to be a pain. Any other ideas before I undertake this?

Looks like you have tried all the suggested methods, so good job on that. Your solution to create a new account is one that has worked for many where nothing else has worked. This usually means some permission or default setting has not been affected by your actions.
The only suggestion I can offer is to uninstall CS6, run Adobe Script Cleaner, then reinstall. Hope this works.

Opening files in CS6 Bridge

When I try to open a file in photoshop from CS6 Bridge I get an error message: "Windows cannot find 'C:\Windows\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe' Make sure you have typed the name correctly and then try again."
I just moved from CS5 to CS6 and do not have CS4 on my machine.

Did you uninstall CS6 beta before you installed CS6 final? If not uninstall now. You machine may be fairly well messed up by now.
If your only Adobe product is CS6 here is what I would do.
Save any files you might want from PS and Bridge then deactivate and uninstall PS.
Download and run the Adobe Script Cleaner, follow instructions.
Install CS6 and reactivate. If it asks for qualifiying s/n, use the CS5 #, no need to have it installed.

Hello,
Although not as simple as it should be you can use a program like "Grab" to take a screenshot of the frame in the preview window in iMovie.
