It was totally unresponsive on my MacBook Air. The only way I could close Bridge to remove it from hiding my desktop was to hold down the power button until my laptop shut down.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>A quick Google search turned up this wonderful advice:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Start <em>Adobe Bridge<\/em> and immediately press Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS) until the Reset Settings dialog box appears. Select all three options&#8211;Reset Preferences, Reset Standard Workspaces, and Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache&#8211;and then click OK.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One additional tip. After you launch Bridge don&#8217;t wait for the Bridge screen to appear. As soon as you click the Bridge icon immediately do the &#8220;command-opt-shift&#8221; or &#8220;control-alt-shift&#8221; thing. My Bridge problem was solved and I am back in business.<\/p>\n<p>FYI: The &#8220;control-alt-shift&#8221; thing also works on a Mac.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had a serious problem with Adobe Bridge freezing on start up.
