I haven't solved it, but I do have a work around. If I open bridge directly, i.e., double clicking bridge.exe, a desktop shortcut, or the start menu, I don't get the error message and it works perfectly. It's only when bridge is opened through something else that I get that damn error. Even having a keyboard shortcut directly to the exe file causes it to crash. Because the error message seems dependent on how you open bridge, I think this is a problem only Adobe can fix and they're either keeping quiet or just ignoring it all together.
