Bridge CS5 freezes

For the past few weeks, Bridge has repeatedly been freezing immediately after opening the program. The normal screen appears with either Favorites or Folders showing, but no thumbnails. In the lower left corner, only part of the little rotating circle shows that normally indicates Bridge is working, and it is frozen. Sometimes if I just let everything sit for 5-10 minutes, the thumbnails eventually appear, but if I click on another folder it freezes again.

I have repeated trashed the Preferences and rebooted the computer, but it coninues to happen. Any suggestions on what else I can try?

MacBookPro (early 2008, Core 2 Duo), OS Lion 10.7.2, Bridge 4.0.5.11

Thanks,

- Greg

How much free disk space do you have? Should have at least 10% and 20% better. So on a 500 gig drive you should have 50 to 100 gig free.

I have a little less than 20% free, on a 200 GB drive. At one time I had the drive nearly full and saw that computer processing speed dropped dramatically - especially Photoshop - so I try to keep enough free space.

After multiple freezes on start with Bridge today, and a couple times trashing the Prefs, I also opted for deleting the cache and that seems to be helping.

Do you have your cache on a seperate dirve or partition that may be getting full? If you use 100% previews it can take a lot of space.

Hi- Wanted to let you know. Both my wife and I are having the identical problem on two different Macs (iMac and Macbook Pro) running 10.7. I've always had problems with Bridge but now it won't work at all. John
