Reinstall bridge w/o uninstalling PS

Windows 7, CS 5
Bridge has frozen. Goes into a "building criteria" loop and cannot be exited without ending in Task Manager (shows "not responding"). Even after a restart it returns to the same behavior. Can it be uninstalled/reinstalled independently from CS5? If so, how.

Interestingly, that didn't work from the desktop shortcut, but did when starting from the Programs .exe file. Thanks for stopping me making a hash of it.

  • How to Uninstall / Reinstall Bridge as part of CS3 Master Collection?

    Bridge is not in my Add/Remove programs. It is not listed as an item that I can uninstall or reinstall in the Master Collection setup program. I want to reinstall Bridge. It is pretty much unusable on my XP64 system since the last upgrade. But how can I reinstall it?

    Well, Adobe may not want to call it a separate program, but from most litmus tests that I can think of, Bridge sure looks and acts like separate program.
    My Bridge would start up no problem. And I had been changing the settings to find anything that might work. But what I had not done, until last night, was to go into the Camera RAW Preferences and change anything. I did this last night. I changed the location of the cache here and changed its size from 1GB to 8GB. This has appeared to have helped quite a bit. Bridge is still a tad sluggish (on a very fast machine with 8 logical processors and 8GB or ram), but it is usable again.
    So one follow-up question is what is the difference between the "camera RAW Preferences" cache and the "Preferences" Cache?
    My next follow-up question is why does Bridge say that it is finished loading thumbnails (via progress bar) for a particular folder only to restart later or on subsequent returns to the folder even after no changes have been made? This drives me crazy. Just when you think that its finished and you can have your CPU's back, it starts up again and hogs your processing power.

  • Can't reinstall CC program after uninstall (in this case, Bridge)

    I uninstalled Bridge CC on the advice of an Adobe chat tech support person. (I have a screen shot of the chat.)
    Now I can't reinstall Bridge CC. The Adobe Application Manager says it's installed and does not offer an option to reinstall. Grrr.
    Other than wishing for a boxed set where I have complete control, what can I do?
    ~ Jane

    Hi Jeff,
    After 3-4 days, the other apps had an update. After the update, suddenly I could install Bridge CC. Go figure. But it's working now.
    Uninstall and reinstall are not obvious or easy with Creative Cloud, and I was wishing for the box version where I had control over things like this unstead of spending hours doing Google searches and chatting with tech support. I hadn't activated the software or even launched it before uninstalling.
    As I said, it's working now. But this needs to be an easier process!

  • Error "Bridge CS6 was not found on this system. To use this command, please reinstall Bridge CS6"

    Hi all,
    We are having issues with Adobe Bridge working properly with Photoshop.  When trying to access Bridge through Photoshop we receive the following error "Bridge CS6 was not found on this system.  To use this command, please reinstall Bridge CS6"
    - We have the Master Collection CS6 installed
    - Bridge CS6 is working fine as a stand-alone program
    - This is installed on Windows 7 x64
    - I am unable to find an uninstall location for Bridge CS6, it is not under control panel > Adobe Master Suite
    - All adobe products are up-to-date as of this morning.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Does not make a difference is bridge is open or not.
    Yes, we are accessing it through File/browse in bridge.
    OK, back to square 1.
    Does Bridge work normally?  Does it load Bridge CS6 or does CS5 come up?  Only one version can run at same time.
    If you double click on an image it opens in CS6?

  • How to reinstall Bridge CS6?

    After severe trouble with Bridge CS6 (did not start up anymore) I decided to uninstall and reinstall it to get rid of the problems.
    But, how can I reinstall Bridge since it is not listed in the Apllication Manager?

    not as easy as most mac programs (with the drag and drop into trash option).
    Only simple applications can be done so but then all other info written to libraries like prefs and presets are still on your machine.
    Since you are both on a Mac can you both specify your machine (type, RAM, free disk space left and OS version)
    To clarify
    I'm on a MacPro with 32 GB RAM and SSD having always at least 25 % free and a separate scratch disk for PS dedicated.
    Using 10.8.3 I have CS6 via Creative Cloud and also Indesign, Illustrator and Premiere Pro and Acrobat Pro installed without any problems.
    You can uninstall using the official uninstallers that are either in the parent application folders or in the Utilities folder / Adobe installers, inhere are all uninstallers.
    Once thing have been messed up the fastest way is to back up all important settings (presets, keywords, actions and all other customized settings and third party plug ins)
    Then use the uninstallers combined with deleting prefs and use the Adobe Cleaner tool (read the instruction before starting to uninstall) The clean tool removes most preferences and settings left but there will be still some files left on your system.
    Mostly user library preferences and application support.
    You can check your self or use 'easy find' (free search engine from Devon) to get other left overs from Adobe visible.
    Then do system maintenance with check and repair disk permissions and finally install CS6 again.

  • I need to just reinstall Bridge?

    I recently removed some trial software off my computer, but for some reason or another it took Bridge with it. It was the version of Bridge that came with Illustrator and Photoshop CS2.
    Can I just use the CD and reinstall Bridge?
    or is there something else I should do?
    Thanks

    Just reinstall from disk should work.

  • Reinstalled Bridge won't open

    reinstalled bridge will not open

    Reinstalling without trashing the old preferences is futile. See my response in your other thread.

  • How to reinstall bridge CS2

    My computer went down last week and I had to get a new hard drive. I made a mess trying to put everything back on the new hard drive. I had to reinstall Photoshop and ImageReady from the disk. As I am having trouble with Bridge I would like to reinstall that as well. I have thrown away the Bridge folder, however I do not see where on the CD I can reinstall Bridge? I have Adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium and run Mac 10.4.

    Unfortunately, you can't install Bridge by itself.

  • Reinstalling Windows--should I uninstall Adobe products first, prior to reinstalling?

    reinstalling Windows--should I uninstall Adobe products first, prior to reinstalling?

    If you are wiping your file system then you should deactivate the programs so that you retain the ability to reactivate without wasting an extra activation.  To deactivate Adobe programs usually you just need to open a program and select Help -> Deactivate.  Suites usually deactivate by deactivating just one application of the suite.
