Due to a Windows problem I've had to reinstall Windows 7 and CS6 64-bit.
CS6 is working fine, but I can no longer launch "Bridge."
If I choose "Browse in Bridge" from Photoshop I get the Windows "spinning wheel" for a few seconds but nothing happens.
If I try to launch Bridge from the file menu the same thing happens, spinning wheel for about 5 seconds and then nothing.
CS6 works absolutely fine and the rest of my system hardware has not changed from previously, when CS6 and Bridge both worked.

What is puzzling me is that Bridge appears on the file menu and I have a launch Icon for it, but when I look under "Programs and Features" in "Control Panel", Bridge does not appear as an installed program.

I've contacted Adobe support about this, but I was wondering if anyone here had any ideas?
 
I had this problem."Old" Bridge was showing in Task Manager as Bridge.exe*32 , clicked "End Task" and "New" Bridge opened perfectly.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for that Graham.
I went to task Manager and it showed a folder marked "Bridge", but not the actual program.
I tried closing it ("End Task") but I still can't run Bridge and I can't seem to make it appear in the Task Manager again either.
As well as CS6, I also have CS2 installed and Bridge works OK in that.
I may try uninstalling CS2 and see what happens then, although I previously had both programs together on the system.
I have to go out soon so I don't have any more time to play around right now.
