I really like the Bridge feature of CS2. It will be good to solve a lot of image sorting I have been needing to do.

I have a lot of images burned onto CDs and I wanted to be able to get to them in the folders window of bridge so I thought to navigate to desktop and then click on the MyComputer icon on that. But when I do that Bridge hangs and come back with a message that the ‘operation failed’.

The only way I was able to get around this inability to navigate to MyComputer was to put a shortcut to the disk on the desk top. I can navigate to that and can put it in my favorites list.

I have some devises that show in MyComputer that are not active like a compact flash card reader and I also a big second hard drive used for backup and scratch. I wonder if that is the problem.

The solution to this seems to be to hit alt-control-delete and then cancel. You need to do this even you have the Task Manager open.

I think this is some sort of windows/windowsmedia bug. The same problem comes up opening a avi file in Premiere Pro and the same fix works.

I am going to ask in some other places and see if I can figure out just what sort of a hang-up like this would be unhung this way.
