Okay.
Doublechecking. Have you worked through the following troubleshooting document?

I just installed Adobe Bridge CC and it will not open? I uninstalled and reinstalled but still will?

I just started using the Adobe CC and downloaded a few of the products, I can get everything except the Adobe Bridge to open and run?

Ok, 6 hours later it's a fix for me!
Not sure if it'll work for you but it was quite simple.
Open Finder > (go) Computer > Macintosh HD (for me) > Users > Click once on the Home icon (main admin) > Get Info >
click on lock and authorise bottom right > click on cog wheel drop down > click on 'Apply to enclosed items' > OK
Close info window and try to open bridge
Did it work??????

From where did you download Premiere Elements 9 at this late date? What computer operating system is it to be running on?
Do you have the 9.0.1 Update installed?
Adobe - Premiere Elements : For Windows : Premiere Elements 9.0.1 update
Are you getting any display card errors?
We have just gone down this type of road with another 9 user, so let us start with what finally seems to have worked for him.
What video card/graphics card does your computer use? Is the driver for that card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of that card? If not, update the card driver. If the driver is up to date already, then delete the BadDrivers.txt file.
For now I will assume that you are working on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
Local Disk C
Program Data
Adobe
Premiere Elements
9.0
and in the 9.0 Folder is the BadDrivers.txt file that you delete. Make sure that you are working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path shown. After you deleted the BadDrivers.txt and reopened Premiere Elements, the program will generate a new BadDrivers.txt file but now the problem should be gone.
Please review, consider, and then let us know the outcome.
The rationale behind deletion of the BadDrivers.txt file can be found in post 10 of the following thread

I Installed Aperture update today and Aperture will not open.

I am running OSX 10.8.2 and installed a new Aperture update today. Now when I try to open it says my libraray has to be modified.. I modified my current libraray and now when I attempt to open Aperture it crashes and lets me send a report to Apple but will not open up... I also updated iPhoto at the same time and it to says I must modify my library to run this update...I don't care about iPhoto at the moment... I am a serious photographer and want to get to my photos in Aperture and am unable to open it... Any one out there that can help me..?

There are so many threads here which contain the solution. Have a read :-)

I downloaded the latest update and now there is just a plug showing Itunes on screen and it will not open the Ipad....

I just downloaded the latest update on I Pad 2 and now the screen shows the plug and I tunes? It will not start up. I have plugged it in and nothing. It is fully charged.

That means that it's gone into recovery mode. You will have to connect it by cable to your computer's iTunes and that should prompt you to reset it back to factory defaults, you can then restore to your backup (or just resync your content to it)

Installed Itunes 9.1 - running , but will not open...

I installed the iTunes 9.1 on my Win VISTA laptop. After the install, can no longer open Itunes. I click on the Itunes icon and nothing happens, even thought it's running. Might this have to do with Bonjour? I disabled it through the Control Panel/Administration/Services - but it still won't run.

I have three computers that are practicably clones of each other and the new itunes update failed on two of them but one worrked fine. Here is fix that worked for me. This fix was suggested by another member but I cannot recall or find his post. My system is WinXP sp3 with all the latest patches.
1. Download AirPort Utility 5.5.1 for Windows http://support.apple.com/downloads/
2. Open task Manager and stop the mdnsresponder process. The corrupted mdnsresponder will be using 50% of your cpu.
3. Open control panel / add remove programs. Find the bonjour app and click on it.
4. Note the corrupted version of bonjour 2.0.0.34 by clicking on the support link.
5. Uninstall bonjour
6. Restart Windows.
7. Install the AirPort Utility. This will install a good working version of mdnsresponder. Restart windows again.
8. Upon restart you will see a new the airport icon in your task tray. You can also find mdnsresponder.exe running under process in task manger with little or no cpu usage. Your bonjour app under add remove panel will now be version 1.0.106

I just downloaded itunes 10.6 and it will not allow me to edit song info! Why?

why won't itunes 10.6 allow me to edit song info?

Have you moved your iTunes library recently? Are you using a different profile?
Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownership from an account with administer privileges.
Also in iTunes properties tap the read-only check box until it clears, then click OK. When prompted apply the change to the folder and all files and subfolders.

Just purchased Xcelsius Server 2008 and it will not open

I have been using the xcelsius 2008 server trial edition and decided to purchase the full product. After I paid, I received a product key and a link to download. When I open the trial version, it has a link to enter a product key, so I entered the key I was given. I got a message that this key was invalid.
So I clicked the download link and downladed a new file. It downloaded and installed with no problems (including accepting the key I was given). But now, when I try to open the application, the Xcelsius logo comes up, but then it immediately pops up a Windows message bos that says "Xcelsius has stopped working" and shuts down.
There are now two shortcuts and two folders for Xcelsius. I tried both the old and the new with the same result.
I am using Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit. Can anybody help?

Hi
Try and run it from the start menu as administrator.
Also look at the size of your RAM, anything under 4G, may result in possible instability.
If it does not work I would suggest, unstall both instances.
Restart the machine and install the working application.

Just installed itunes on windows 8 and can't open it

Have purchased a new computer with Windows 8. Have just installed itunes on it and now it will not let me open it!! Please help

Hello Jess2321,
I recommend this article named iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717. The name says Windows 7 but the troubleshooting will be relevant for Windows 8, although some of the locations in the OS may be a bit different.
Take care,
Sterling

Just installed Firefox 3.6. Firefox will not start and Firefox safemode does not start either. Using Task manager I do not see if started either. If I create a new profile and start from that window, Firefox starts up. I see no error windows/messages. I do have it listed in my Firewall as an exception program with Permit All. What is happening?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After removing Firefox and Reinstalling it. ==
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; GTB6.4; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.648; MS-RTC LM 8)

If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

ITunes 10.6.0.40 will not open on Windows 7, no error messages come up. Have tried un-installing it and re-installing it many times.

iTunes 10.6.0.40 will not open on Windows 7, no error messages come up. Have tried un-installing it and re-installing it many times. Please help.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

I just reinstalled iTunes, and it will not open, as it says iTunes library itl. was created from an earlier version. Any idea what this means, and how I can get itunes to open?

Many thanks.
That suggests that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

Setup Assistant and Migration Assistant do not restore MS Windows, it only does the OS X partition. All of your Windows stuff must be backed up and restore using a MS Windows application. If no one on this forum is able to answer your question then I'd repost it on a Parallels forum to see how other Windows users approach this.
