To be honest, No.

Did you uninstall CS2 via add/remove programs?

It is just possible you inistalled some shared files which are needed by CS(1).

First off: Reset the preferences as per the FAQs.

If this doesn’t cure it, reinstall CS1. It’s a quick and painless procedure.

Chris.

I have tried all of the above. In my latest reinstall of CS1 after I uninstalled it, (and every Adobe product I had), I deleted all Adobe directories and files I could find. I then deleted all Adobe entries I could find in the Windows XP registry. After installing Photoshop CS1 I still get "bridge is not loaded" when I print. After reading the problems in the Bridge forum I am convinced that my only option is to reinstall Windows on a new drive unless someone at Adobe will tell be what to do.
This is really sad because I had Photoshop CS1 working fine and then installed the CS2 Trial. After the Trial ended I removed CS2 using Add/Remove Programs and expected my PC to be the way it was before the trial. I guess I will never trial anything again!

Hi, I’m experiencing a similar problem: I had PS Elements 4 and Premier Elements 2 on my computer, and used Win Add/Remove Programs to remove PS Elements (keeping Premier), then used a newly purchased PS CS 2 on a CD to install the current PS. Installation went fine, but I can’t open Bridge (licensing restriction error message), the PS Help feature (via Help Center) will only access Premier help, and Adobe Updater won’t open. I’ve tried: reinstalling PS (repair and full); cleaning out unneeded, vestigial Adobe files from directories and registry; installing most recent PS updates (9.02); reviewing Adobe’s standard web page problem solving responses; and resetting the prefs folder. Is there anything else to try? Thanks, Phil
