Errors with Bridge to Illustrator

[Flocco]

For some reason my Bridge no longer allows me to open files from within it for Illustrator. Just opening inside Illustrator. It wasn't like that. Before it worked. As I really like Bridge as my favorite search platform, this has become a problem. What happened?

To add to what Melissa suggested, here's how to reset prefs

Rebuild Bringe’s Prefs

First, quit Bridge (if open). Then, when launching Bridge, press Command-Option (Mac)/Control-Alt (Win) + Shift to choose “Reset Preferences”, Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache”, and/or Reset Standard Workspaces.” In your case, chose "Reset Preferences."
