Hi @Heath2541, I just answered you in another thread. Please do not do multiple treads as it makes it confusing for us who are trying to help you. 

 

However, since this thread only has this one item, let's keep everything in here, and please ignore that other thread. Thanks.

 

There are many, many users of Bridge, including myself, who are on Ventura and are not having any issues, so it is not intrinsically Bridge.

 

I have no idea what a 205 error is, but what would be helpful is if you could let us know if, when starting Bridge, it does nothing, it almost opens but then crashes, it opens all the way and a few moments later crashes, or it opens and when you try to click on an image and then it crashes. Any specificity you can add to that would be very helpful.

 

Meanwhile, shooting in the dark, there are a few basic processes to check and try to see if we can get you past this issue.

 

First, reset Preferences:

Quit Bridge (if running). Just before clicking on Bridge in the Dock or double-clicking the application for the Mac, press Command-Option-Shift. For PCs, press Control-Alt-Shift. Then open Bridge BUT KEEP your fingers on those keys until you see a window pop up. From the window, choose “Reset Preferences," "Entire Thumbnail Cache,” and/or "Reset Standard Workspaces.” In your case, choose "Reset Preferences."

 

I'm going to wait for more information from you before I continue possible things to try.

 

Good luck
