Fail, and closes

OK, have you tried rebuilding Bridge's preferences?

Start Adobe Bridge and immediately press Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS) until the Reset Settings dialog box appears. Select all three options--Reset Preferences, Reset Standard Workspaces, and Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache--and then click OK.

If that doens't work than there's something wrong either with your instillation which would require uninstalling Bridge and then re-installing, and/or there's something wrong with your computer that needs some maintenance. There are thousands upon thousands of folks out there who have what you have who are not having this problem which leads me to not suspect Bridge for this. (There are plenty of other things to blame on Bridge but this is not one.)

Let us know how it goes,
