Hello. Well I took the time to create a new user, which took about 10
minutes with my slow connection, thinking all the time what a waste, but
all I can say is THANKS, because it worked! Now since you are obviously a
lot smarter than me, please explain to me with my first user account,
Photoshop and Lightroom would work and not Bridge? It is good for me to
learn from people like you. Thanks many times over, Jim.
Smarter because I learned the same way you did.
I often tell people to create a separate extra user account because things can break with one account.
I suggest that people create a separate "local" user account as a back door into their OS.
a "local" account does not require a Internet login verification.
as to your situation something got buggered up in the windows user profile you have.
could be as simple as a register error. could be a elevated permission error as windows tries to run the application.
Adobe is not the only one has has these issues. You might want to un-install Bridge , run a registry cleaner like CCleaner, reboot and reinstall Bridge.
Or you could start using your new user account and save the other login as a back door.
Jim
