Unable to start Bridge in CS6

I have just installed CS6 from Disc, this runs fine but i am unable to open Bridge, either from within CS6 or by clicking on the Bridge icon in my taskbar.
I have read many forum discussions on this subject but have yet to find one with a good working answer to resolve the issue.
Is there a reason for the prolem Adobe? is there a fix or update? i have already checked that i have the latest updates running in CS6.
I have checked "task manager" on my windows 7 laptop, and it doesnt show any bridge applications running.
PLEASE HELP, i dont want to use $600 software which i saved up for only to find that a part of it doesnt work.
Any suggestions
Andy

Hi all,
Well i tried everything that was suggested, including creating an empty folder in the c:\users\user name\app data\roaming\adobe\bridge cs6. Checking my TEMP folder, uninstalling and running adobe script cleaner, re installing, right clicking the bridge.exe and selecting run in compatability mode, pressing shift, control, alt. Launching bridge from within cs6 or on its own.
I even stood on my head and tried it , lol.
But eventually i cracked it................i created a new user account in control panel/user accounts, and it worked. I can now open bridge on its own or within CS6.
So now i have to move all my hundreds of pictures in LR4 to my new user profile. I intend to keep both profiles and just use the "new" one to run CS6 and work on my pictures.
So to cut a long story short dont waste time with all the other suggestions (as good as they are), just go straight in and create a new user profile and bingo.........
i am now so happy after a week of pulling my hair out.
thanks to all that tried to help me as i am sure you eventually let me down the correct path.........
Andy a happy cs6 and bridge user

Starting Bridge in CS6

In CS5 you could start Bridge with a single click on a seperate button, always appearent in the PS workspace (on top) and along with a button to arrange windows.
This bar seems to be gone and now you have to open the file menu or use Mini Bridge. Or is there a faster way?

Unable to start Bridge CS3

I am wondering if I upgrade to Photoshop CS4 if Bridge will work then. I cannot get Bridge CS3 to open at all now. I am running OS 10.6.1. Seems others are having problems also. If a work around has been found for this problem, I would appreciate knowing what it is or even what the latest information is on the problem.
Thanks,
Shirley

For some CS4 and snow leopard seem to work flawless and for some others not
and they have problems. Hard to tell what you will experience. CS3 is
developed long before snow leopard and already followed by CS4 so don't hold
your breath on getting updates for CS3
In common when switching to a new OS, especially the brand new first builds,
you should first test if all your old applications work on it before
switching. History proofed that most problems will be solved in the 3th or
4th update for a new OS.
However there is always the free trial from CS4 that will work for 30 days

CS6 Production Premium: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)"

Dreamweaver CS6 The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b).

Hi
I have just done a clean install of Windows 8 64BIT on a new SSD, I then installed Dreamweaver CS6 (trial) but when I try to launch it I keep getting the same error: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)".
I have ran chkdsk and no errors were found.
Any suggestions.

The Event Viewer is your friend. That's just a generic crash signature and by itself means not much.

CS6--The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). click OK to close the application.

CS6--Error message -- the application was unable to start correctly 9)xc000007b). click OK to close the application.

Nobody can know. That's just a generic Windows crash code and since you haven't provided any system info, no crash logs nor even told us what app you actually refer to this is totalyl useless.

Unable to start Illustrator CS6 64-bit on Windows 7

I installed the CS6 Master Upgrade yesterday and almost all of the apps are working correctly. However, when I try to open Illustrator CS6 64-bit it returns this error message: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application." The 32-bit version works correctly. Any suggestions or similar cases? Thanks.

I feel like I need to chime in here. I just installed my new Master Collection of CS6 all my x64 applications were working with the exception of Illustrator x64. I Googled the heck out of this and found so much back and forth between adobe saying it's a microsoft issue (.net framework and redistributables) and microsoft saying it's an Adobe issue.
My windows installation is fairly fresh, but for the heck of it I tried unexpectedpanda's solution of uninstalling/re-installing the Microsoft Visual C Libraries. I followed the instructions to the letter, I even went so far as to uninstall/re-install .net itself. No luck.
I saw the Lightroom (error unable to start correctly) fix mentioned in a few places, and thought frick I've tried EVERYTHING else. I did the following to fix this annoying issue:
1) Download the Lightroom fix (mentioned in the link from crebimacedo)
2) Extract the .dll files from the .zip. There are 2 files; msvcr80.dll and msvcr100.dll
3) Opened folder Adobe Illustrator CS6 (64 Bit)/Support Files/Contents/Windows
4) The above folder already contains the msvcr80.dll so I did NOT overwrite it. I simply copied and paste the msvcr100.dll into the above folder.
5) Tried to launch Illustrator CS6 (x64) and imagine that. WORKING!
To me this says that this was indeed an Adobe issue and their installer appears to be missing a file. Especially when a fix file from their website resolves the issue.
I would also just like to add that I have confirmed that this file already existed in my C:\Windows\System32 and in C:\WindowsSysWOW64 so my OS was NOT missing it as a .dll; again reiterating that it appears to make this an Adobe issue.
Good luck to the rest.
This one works for me ...

Unable to reinstall Bridge CS6 or Photoshop CS6 on new iMac - Unable to find Uninstall anywhere in Library or Utilities

I just purchased a new iMac. Our previous iMac finally "died" and we had to have the data recovered from hard drive and transferred to the new iMac. I am now unable to open Bridge CS6 or Photorshop CS6. Message says I need to reinstall. But when going to Utilities, am unable to find Adobe Installer or Uninstall in any files or folders. Anxious to get back to using Bridge and Photoshop - HELP - and Thanks!!

No, you're never going to find it there.
In CS6, the Adobe uninstaller is inside the Adobe Photoshop CS6 folder, which in turn is inside the Root Applications folder.

I cannot start bridge (Mac 10.8.2) CS6. States "the operation could not be completed"

I cannot start bridge (Mac 10.8.2) CS6. States "the operation could not be completed" but if I use another user account it works fine. I have uninstalled and re-installed Creative Suite but no differene.
Are there some logs or cache's that I need to delete or something??
Please help

but if I use another user account it works fine. I have uninstalled and re-installed Creative Suite but no differene.

There are a few things to try but it means the problem is in the account itself. un- and reinstall the Suite will not help if you are not also using the Adobe cleaner tool for this job:
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
Check this and read the instructions carefully and most important, have a back up of your important settings (in Photoshop your custom actions, tool presets, brushes and workspaces and for Bridge the custom output templates and keyword list, to name the most important for me).
If you check your user library (by default hidden per OSX 10.7, use menu Go and press option to reveal this library) Inhere is a folder called Application support and most of those settings are here - User/Library/Application Support/Adobe.
If you copy this folder to a back up location you can always use this to copy the certain wanted parts to the new installed folder.
Also use a check and repair permissions on your start up disk with Apple disk utility or third party software like Cocktail.
And finally since your still on 10.8.2 they just recently released 10.8.3
Usually the update procedure is using the App Store and check software update. BUt in this case it might be useful to find the 10.8.3 Combo Update on the Apple Support section.
You have to download this yourself and then it is a normal update procedure. The combo update does a bit more refreshing for the user account then the normal update.
And if all this is not helping you then you can use the Apple recovery disk to reinstall your system, this is what before was known as an Archive and Install procedure. This creates a new user library while all your custom settings and files are being kept.
But you have to find info for yourself for this and also make sure you have a proper back up of all your important files, but as a wise person you already had done so I believe ?

I am unable to access Bridge CS6 within Photoshop CS6

I am unable to access Bridge CS6 within Photoshop CS6 using the File menu>Browse in Bridge. Instead, I receive an error message stating that "Bridge CS6 was not found on this system. To use this command, please reinstall Bridge CS6". Also, Mini Bridge fails to connect with Bridge CS6. Any suggestions? I'm using Mac Operating System 10.6.8

Hi Pragya,
I uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop CS6 and the problem has not been solved. The only way I am able to open Bridge is through its own application folder. Once I'm in Bridge, I can access Photoshop CS6 by going to the file menu and choosing Open With > Photoshop CS6. Bridge seems to be able to comminicate with Photoshop CS6 but Photoshop CS6 is unable to recognize or find Bridge CS6. Any other suggests? Thank you.

Unable to update bridge or photoshop.

I purchased photo shop, bridge and light room pre installed on my laptop direct from Sony. I'm unable to update bridge as the error message appears.
(Bridge is unable to check for updates.
The most likely causes are an inability to connect to the internet or being logged in as a non-administrative user.)
I have asked Sony for help which they haven't been able to provide and I'm connected to the internet. I am also the only user of this laptop. In photo shop it doesn't even give me the option of updating. I am only able to use part of these programs and not view any photos in Raw as I can't download the converter.
Any help or advice most welcome.

Unable to open Bridge CS5

My iMac hard drive crashed. I installed a new one and re-installed Photoshop CS5. I am using OS X 10.8.2
Photoshop searched for and found updates and they were all successfully installed. However, I am unable to open Bridge. The mini-bridge function gets hung up on "waiting for bridge". If I attempt to open Bridge from its own icon, it starts the process and then immediately closes.

Strange, can you report back the exact version numbers of PS and Bridge. (sorry, misread the update mentioned in first post)
If you change the finder window to column mode and select the icon it will show the info in a column next to the bridge icon.
Can you also provide details about your computer set up (type of iMac, amount of RAM, free space left on the Disk and Graphic card with amount of VRAM)?
You can check this all under the Apple icon top left 'About this Mac'
Does PS work normal on your system and do you have it activated as a full version and not in trial mode?
Did you try to uninstall PS and reinstall again to see if this would work?
