1130893 2010-08-23 07:16:00 I have (as of course you know!) a brand new machine with Windows 7 Professional OS. And I have also been loading my brand new software...

I strike problems trying to Update Photoshop CS5. Through the process it tells me to:
'Please close the following applications to continue: Adobe Bridge (Bridge.exe) and at times (depending what I am trying to update) Adobe Photoshop (Photoshop.exe).

This I then do, but no joy... So I go to Task Manager and find neither Bridge or Photoshop are running.

A search of the Net shows similar problems with CS4, but I thought I'd just run the problem past you people. :)

Thoughts? Suggestions? I'd welcome some ideas of where to go next.

1130894 2010-08-23 08:12:00 I have a similar issue on two machines with Premiere Pro and Photoshop (CS4).
A quick search of the Internet reveals a total lack of support on Adobes' part.
Pretty poor, apparently the 'cure' is to uninstall the lot, clean your system with a
special tool, then reinstall, hoping that this will magically 'fix' the issue.
It doesn't, so then they tell you to do it again, brilliant!

Where/how do I do this? :o

That I'm not sure on windows, only know with the mac version.

try this link

Just noticed the link I posted doesn't cover the latest software, might pay to do a quick google for your OS and CS4

Reinstalling to a different location might avoid the need for the special tool. I solved a PremierePro2 problem that way

1130899 2010-08-23 10:57:00 Oh, that might be worth a try, but really shouldn't be necessary. KarameaDave (15222)
1130900 2010-08-24 06:48:00 Did you have any joy plod (107)
1130901 2010-08-24 06:50:00 No... And I've just tried to uninstall it, and get the same message:

'Please close the following applications to continue: Adobe Bridge (Bridge.exe)'

So can't actually uninstall. Now what??

1130902 2010-08-24 07:15:00 Look for Bridge.exe in Task Manager, or the equivalent thereof in Win7, right click and stop it running then try to un-install Photoshop. zqwerty (97)
