I am trying to open files in Camera raw from Bridge but get the following message.
"Bridge's parent application is not active."
Both Bridge and CS5 are open and I have opened camera raw previously.
Any suggestions.
Cheers

I use cs4 and recently had to reinstall my software after a hardware problem and hardware replaced. Never had a problem before. I now get the same error code as mentioned in first complaint. It will not let me open camera raw at all. I have print orders for costomers due TODAY! Starting to make me mad. Expensive software we pay for and we can't use! Nothing makes me more mad! SO HOW DO WE FIX IT?

After you reinstalled CS4 did you do all the updates for Photoshop via the Adobe website?

Did you get this fixed? I'm running into the same problem now too?
Thank you

General question, but worth asking:
Have you updated your software to the latest release? That would be Photoshop CS5 12.0.4 (or 12.1) and Camera Raw 6.4.1.

Thank you for the reply. I have figured out on what to do. I did update by logging on to CS4, then clicked on the Help button in the toolbar, clicked on "Updates" .. once it updated that, the Camera Raw update I had uploaded from the Adobe site worked.
Thank you

Found the solution: copy and replace the file: amtlib.dll from program files/adobe/photoshop cs5/ folder to program files/adobe/bridge cs5/ folder You need to have permissions to do this. Hope will solve your problem.

Basic question: How is it that you expect those files to differ?
When your software is installed by Adobe's installer, they match already.

The video shows replacing a current DLL file with one from last year - the key issue being that the files found in the Bridge and Photoshop folders are DIFFERENT.
Why would this be? I checked a PS CS5.1 installation myself and the files are already the same.
Is there an illegitimate copy of Photoshop being used or something, causing these files to differ?

Ah this is just because I haven't fully updated my bridge yet, but the solution still works fine
