Windows 7 64bit Bridge CS3 problem.

I just purchased a new PC. I am running Windows 7 64 bit Pro. I have installed Adobe Photoshop CS3. One minor annoyance is that whenever I exit Photoshop it won't simply close. It hangs until it says "not responding" and then if I exit again at that time it does close.
The BIG problem though is that I can't even open Bridge CS3. I have no idea why or how. I need help on this asap. Without Bridge I'm in trouble.
Thank you,
Tom K.

Did you run CS3 as admin the first time you started it?
Did you update CS3 to 10.0.1?
Hope this makes sense:
You have selected CS3 to run as admin but your not running it (closed): if you try to open bridge by itself with cs3 closed bridge won't open unless you run bridge as admin.
If CS3 is run as admin and you open bridge from CS3 it will open.
Ya, i know it is weird but CS4 did the same under windows 7 64 bit for me so I figured this may help you.

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

Multiple CS3 problems

Product Name: Bridge CS3
Operating system: Intel Dual Core
Kind: PC
4ghz Ram
Problem 1: When I open bridge CS3 I get this message:
This application requires an Intel Pentium 4
Intel Celeron, Intel Core duo or intel core 2
compatible processor. ( 0/6/5898 )
As mentionned in this message, I have a Intel Core 2 Duo 3ghz
4gRam
Windows Vista 64 bit operating sys
I don't know why I get this warning when I open my Bridge CS3.
Plus I tried to uninstall and reinstall, it didn't make a difference.
I tried to install it in the 64 Bit program files(not the program filesx86)
and it installs it back to program files x86, wich is 32bit.
Problem 2: I don't know how to attach an image in the thread, but my Preview window in Bridge CS3 is messed up, as if the *interactive sector*
of the preview image where you can click and zoom on any picture, was moved 1/3 on the right out of my computer screen. ( If I could upload an image it would be easier to understand ) Is there a way to put all the settings of BRIDE CS3 to Default by deleting backup files or something ?
Problem 3: In Bridge CS3 I cannot open CAMERA RAW by pressing ctrl+r, bridge doesn't react to my command, but it does for any other commande so it's not a keyboard problem because I can use the ctrl+c and v to copy in paste in photoshop. The only way to open Camera Raw is to double click on a RAW image, but what if I want to open a JPEG ? I searched for a `open` key in CAMERA RAW but I didn't see how I could open an image when Camera Raw was active.
I posted in Photoshop since it seems as an overall problem with Adobe Photoshop and other programs.
Thank You for you time.

You would be better having a browse in the Bridge forum (see link on this page) and posting there.

Adobe Bridge CS3 windows error

Hi,
When I open Bridge cs3 on its own after a few seconds the window banner comes up. Adobe bridge has encountered a problem and needs to close.We are sorry for any inconvenience. The same happens if I try to open bridge from within Photoshop cs3
I can still work in the programme ok and move the windows error aside, I would like to fix the problem, Tried to debug but the programme just closes.
I use windows xp pro with all the latest updates that are available.
have any others experienced this problem and how to fix it.
Thanking you in advance.

No messageto see, but you can check your Startup Scripts in Bridge preferences. Mine are like this:

Adobe Bridge CS3 crashes on load in my Windows 7 workstation.

Adobe Bridge CS3 crashes on load in my Windows 7 workstation.
I recently completely removed, deactivated and reinstalled all my Adobe Creative Suite CS3 Master Collection to solve some problems with other application from the suite and now I'm surprise Bridge continues to fail. In my portable workstation the same software (Bridge) uses to work.
I tried launching Bridge under several compatibility modes. All failed.
Is there any know bug I should be aware of? Any fix?
Is this a common problem?

Curt Y. Thank you for your answer.
It was only Bridge who was crashing. It failed to load and Windows was giving an error message.
I tried your suggestion, and resetting all options in the reset window it now loads. It was as simple as that.

Help, which windows Service msut be on to run Adobe Bridge CS3?

hi all,
I'm having trouble opening Adobe Bridge CS3, theres a windows popup that says "Adobe Bridge has encountered a problem and needs to close" error message when i try to start.
I can run the other Adobe Cs3 applications fine, i've been playing around with the disabling of windows services to increase bootup time. i'm afraid i may have accidentally disabled something necessary
pls advice on how to get it working.. i'm on win xp pro sp2
thanks

When you get the "Bridge has encountered an error" popup box, check the technical info hyperlink to see what's the problem. It may point to a DLL that had an error.
From there, check the web to see what that DLL relates to, which may or may not give you a lead. Maybe something that needs to be running in WinXP, maybe a 3rd party product that needs to be fixed/removed/re-installed.
Why do I say this? I had the same issue on Bridge after getting the trial version. Worked for a while, then suddenly stopped working with the same startup dialog box and a quick shutdown. Digging a bit as above pointed to a DLL that was related to Quicktime. I went to the Apple site and downloaded/installed the latest version of Quicktime, and the Brige problem was cured.

Problem with changing Label in Bridge CS3 and CS6

Hi there,
I am having some problem with changing Label in Bridge CS3 and CS6 in windows.
1. In Bridge CS3 (Windows XP), most of the time with most of the files, there is no problem. But I found that in some files, the Label does not get changed. I usually change Label by right clicking on the picture, then Label and select any Label. When I do so in those files, nothing happens. But when I rename the file by changing or adding just a single character, then it works. And if I again rename to original name, it still works. But without renaming the Label does not change. Again this does not happen with all pictures, but occationally with some. We usually receive pictures from different clients for editing purpose.
2. In Bridge CS6 (Windows 7), if you create lot of Path using Pen tool in Photoshop for the purpose of removing background, you save the file, close, and change Label in Bridge, again open the file in Photoshop, you see no Path in the Path Pallette. So that means, changing Label works, but it removes the Path from the file. But if there is small amount of path, then no prboblem. But if there is lot of path, like you need to create for a necklace to remove background, then the problem arises.
I am using Bridge for a purpose where it is very helpful so I really need to use Bridge, and Labeling feature is the most important to me, but after feaguring out this problem, I am really tensed as to whether or not I will find a solution to this. So any help, guidance will really be appreciated.
Thanks very much in advance for any solution.
Best regards

I have re-checked the issue and I found that the problem is with JPG file.
I wasn't even aware you could save a path to a jpeg file (always use PSD because of wanting to keep the Alpha Channel, jpeg only can contain 1 layer and no alpha channels and/or transparency).
However I tried it on a file with a simple path and one with a complex path. It seems indeed you have found a bug. The simple path is no problem but the more complex path is indeed disappearing.
It is not only label but also rate or adding IPTC in the description field. The moment metadata is saved to this jpeg file and reopened the earlier present work path of a more complex path is gone.
Despite the fact that to my opinion a jpeg is not the most suitable file format for saving a work path this should not happen. If a work path is saved to a jpeg then it should be kept saved after just altering metadata in Bridge.
It still is the same behavior in Bridge CC because that is what I use. Don't know when it started but it still needs to be repaired

Bridge CS3 (Windows XP) fails to start because Symlib.dll was not found

Bridge CS3 (Windows XP) fails to start because Symlib.dll was not found? How do I fix this? I've re-installed and the auto updater has run...I even downloaded and ran the patcher application? By the way Bridge CS3 doesn't show up in the CS3 program list in the start menu but it is installed in my program files - I've tried launching it directly from there as well. Bridge CS2 is operating just fine.
Update: I installed and ran the Adobe Support Advisor, resulting in - Issues: "The module found no solutions to report for the selected log file."
I tried to package the report and the error read: "The size of the package is too large to be handled with the current configuration! Please contact Adobe Support for additional information."
I opened a web based report/case number at the Adobe Support Portal about the missing Symlib.dll (including the Adobe Support Advisor error). Their response was: We regret to inform you that complimentary support for your product is not available and/or has expired.

Did Bridge work before? If so, reset preferences by holding down the Ctrl key when starting Bridge. If successful you will get a Reset Window, choose all 3 options.

Windows 64Bit Itunes Error : "THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOWS INSTALLER PACKAGE. A PROGRAM REQUIRED FOR THIS INSTALL TO COMPLETE COULD NOT BE RUN CONTACT YOUR SUPPORT PERSONNEL OR PACKAGE VENDOR."

I have a brand new HP laptop windows 64bit that is having issues installing Itunes 10.6.3. Whenever attempting to install, I get the error message : "THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOWS INSTALLER PACKAGE. A PROGRAM REQUIRED FOR THIS INSTALL TO COMPLETE COULD NOT BE RUN CONTACT YOUR SUPPORT PERSONNEL OR PACKAGE VENDOR." I thought this was an issue with the new version, and attempted to retrieve/install older versions of Itunes and same issue occurs. I have tried other forums and resolution tips from : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3551 and nothing still. It appears that apple installs bonjour and nothing else. I have tried extracting the itunes package and installing the executables seperately, but everytime the error stil arises. I cannot repair the apple software update as it cannot install from the error mentioned above. Looking through the logs, it shows error : 1721, problem with windows installer package.Does anyone have any suggestions on what to try?

There are so many different error and problems peopl are having.
This is a link to mine

I think it has to be something on Apples end.
Hopefully they fix it soon. Ive used a few GB redownloading and Im going crazy
hope this settles you a bit

Bridge CS3 Version Cue Folder ICONS Incorrect (Windows 7)

Hello,
After updating to Windows 7 Premium 64-bit, the folder icons that appear in Bridge CS3 when browsing a Version Cue Server appear as little hard-drives with a windows icon. (We use Bridge CS3 to avoid using the notorious "Adobe Drive CS4".)
We could live with these new icons and pretend that they're folders, but does anyone know of a hack or the registry location to flip these icons back to a folder icon?
Thanks,
JP

Hi Curt,
I just tried it and it didn't work. My issue isn't with the Adobe icons or thumbnails of the actual files, just with the icons that are shown for the sub-folders.
thanks,
JP

Metadata & XMP files in Bridge CS3 under Windows XP

Question regarding Bridge CS3, 2.1.1.9, on a computer running Windows XP Pro, Service Pack 3:
A useful feature seems to have disappeared from my installation of Bridge. In Horizontal Filmstrip view, I used to see a little icon over the thumbnails showing the CR2 files that I had opened and processed in Camera Raw. The icon was a small circle with a downward-pointing triangle, if I recall. The CR2 files that I had never opened in Camera Raw did not show that icon. Now I never see the icons, even for those CR2 files for which the XMP file is present in the same folder as the CR2 file.
Is there a way that I can get Bridge to display those icons again?
Thanks.

CS3 does have a symbol for a modified RAW thumb. This differentiates if from the unmodified RAW thumb. A circle with 2 arrows in it I believe.

Bridge compatibility problem in Windows XP

I installed the Illustrator upgrade from CS to CS4, which also installs the CS4 Bridge. Photoshop CS3 is on the machine and I been using Bridge CS3. Now the CS4 Bridge does not allow direct access to the Raw Converter installed with Photoshop, and the CS3 Bridge installed with Photoshop will not open. (Uninstalling the Illustrator upgrade allows the CS3 Bridge to open and work correctly.)
How can I make the CS3 Bridge operate with Illustrator CS4 installed on the machine OR how can I get the CS4 Bridge to open the Raw Converter installed with Photoshop CS3?
Help would be appreciated

You can't have Bridge CS3 and 4 running as same time although they can be on same computer no problem. It you have autoload enabled you may have to look in Task Manager/processes to make sure bridge.exe is not running and then start the one you want.
CS4 reads ACR version 5.x and the last version for CS3 was 4.6. You have to use the correct one, they are not interchangable.

Problems with Bridge CS3 crash freeze and burn

Hi,
I am running Bridge CS3 version 2.1. 100 on a MacBook Pro 3
Intel Core Duo
2.4 GHz, 2GB ram
I am having some serious Bridge issues. My problems have ranged from it just being very sluggish and slow to Bridge not applying a label to random crashes.
So far today here are the issues:
"Operation Cannot be completed, an unknown OS error has occurred"
"EventHandler:2976"
Will not apply a label when using the command key or from the tool bar menu
Not responding when quitting from icon in the dock
freezes when renaming a file
unexpectedly quit while cropping an image in PS CS3
Things I have tried to resolve this:
shift-alt-command and reset all preferences and purged cache
changing the thumbnails preferences to only process 50mb or smaller files
create small thumbnails
(as a former pc user) I have restarted multiple times...
Things I have not tried:
rebuilding OS
uninstall reinstall
throwing laptop in bathtub
The files I am working on range in size from 4 mb up to 400 mb .psd files
Any ideas?

I can't use Bridge CS3 anymore. It freezes on my screen and the only way to close it is with task manager. Had problems with it the first time I loaded it...a full version of CS3, no upgrade. Spoke with 2 Adobe technicians who tried to help, but being a believer in Murphy's Laws I decided to bypass their suggestions which I had already tried.
The best viewer alternatives to Bridge are:
-Fast Stone Image Viewer is shareware and handles .psd files along with RAW, TIFF, JPG, etc. Go to their site an look for yourself. It was so good I sent them the suggested contribution. Adobe could learn a lot from them.
-Use Adobe Lightroom as a viewer and to do preliminary editing before launching the file into CS3. Adobe got it right in Lightroom...how come not in bridge CS3?
-Nikon View NX is good but doesn't show .psd files.
Nikon's Capture NX is a reasonable alternative to CS3 if you get fed up with Adobe. Or go back to PS Elements!
Finally, some lecturing Photoshop gurus have called Bridge "JUNK...you get what you pay for." Correct.
Benefits of JUNK sofware is that you explore alternatives and can be surprised at what's available out there.
Conclusion: Bridge CS3 is meant to be a "bridge" to many PS products, but for me it's a "bridge to nowhere." Make it simple, guys.
