I cannot double click a thumb in the bridge and enter Photoshop cs4. It brings up the Microsoft viewer instead. Nothing I have tried corrects this. I can get to Photoshop cs4 through camera raw, but that means opening all jpegs and tiffs in raw. Can anyone help? Perhaps I will need to download the upgrade to cs4 again. But installing the plugins for fractals and NIK software can be a drag. I no longer have cs3, so I can’t revert to it

I have Windows XP professional on a Dell, two 500 gig internal drives and a 500gig LaCie external drive

Thanks

Paul

Removing CS3 probably took the file associations with it.

You can easily set all your file associations manually in Windows. I no longer recall where it was in XP, but in Vista you go here: Control panel > Default programs > associate a file type or protocol. Click on a file type and "Change program" if necessary. If Photoshop is not on the short list, click Browse and navigate to the Photoshop.exe in Program Files.

You need to go through all the variations of the extensions you want PS to open: jpg/jpeg, tif/tiff etc.

Both Bridge and Windows Explorer will follow this.
