I've been running Bridge/Photoshop CS4 fine for many months, but all of the sudden Bridge won't start. I get the error "Bridge has stopped working" from Windows before anything pops up. I have done lots of research into this issue and a popular solution is to Ctrl+Click the Bridge shortcut and reset all the settings and purge the cache, but after I click "OK" it just crashes again. I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop & Bridge. Photoshop opens and runs fine.
The only possible cause for this I can think of is a couple days ago I accidentally shorted out a USB port by putting a stereo plug in it (the headphone jack and USB port were very close together) which instantly turned off my computer and ran some kind of hardware diagnostic/recovery utility during bootup. When the computer was done booting there were a few things that just didn't seem quite 'right' although nothing was noticeably wrong (my web browser settings were reset, and desktop icons were rearranged, etc.). The computer's been running just fine since then, with the exception of this Adobe Bridge issue.
Any ideas? Thanks!
