I'm the happy owner of an Adobe CS5.5 Production Premium suite - running on PC/Windows 7 - which has served me very well for a number of years. I always use Bridge to transfer pictures from my camera to the computer. On July 26th I came home from a small holiday, transferred the pictures as usual and on 28th I went away again. When I came back August 2nd I switched on the computer, put the memory card from the camera in the reader - and was quite surprised to see that Bridge didn't open. I tried to start the program manually, only to find that it was completely gone from my computer. It's nowhere to be found. I connected an external drive containing the downloaded suite I bought years ago, with the intention to reinstall bridge - but Bridge isn't on the list of programs I can choose to install. Later I needed to read a pdf-document and realized that Adobe Reader also is gone.
Has anyone experienced something like this? The computer was unused while I was away. My best guess is that something happened during updating some Windows-files, which I did on July 27th. I've tried to revert the system to a restore point before this date, but it isn't possible, probably because I ran CCleaner sometime after the update...
Anyway, the question is how do I get Bridge back? I need it and I paid for it.
