Have you tried updating Bridge to the latest version?

The bridge.exe executable currently on your machine is timestamped "Fri, 29 Aug 2008 02:23:40 GMT". By now, there are probably newer versions. They may include the fix for the crash you're experiencing.

last update for bridge was 02/27/2008 as stated here on the adobe website so doubt thats the problem ive had no issues what so ever with bridge until the licence thing happened then after i turned the licence service back on photoshop ran and now bridge crashes every single time i try to open it ive tryed disableing the licence service again to see if that helped but still no cigar *sigh* thanks for the input though much appreciated

How about a uninstall/reinstall of Bridge? Have you tried that?

With these sorts of complex application crashes, it's entirely possible that a file or setting has become corrupted. Therefore, it's good to try the simple things before getting too deep into troubleshooting.

i have mine working no problems, but i wonder if it's the same problem i heard from another member of this site he couldn't get Flash CS4 to work, and we thought if was because his version of Windows 7 was 6.1.7100 RC, compared to my 6.1.7600 RTM.
It didn't make a difference, we concluded that installing Adobe CS4 Master made it work 100%.
Go figure:sarc:

Easy solution found!

This was on the Adobe web site:

Adobe Forums: Another Bridge starting problem

Just hold down the Control key, and then start Bridge. Reset your preferences, and it all works again! I wish I had found it before trying to reinstall...
