Looks like it is pointing to your video card. Try updating the drivers for
it.

A few things leap to mind.

1) what operating system (obviously Windows, which version)
2) How much RAM and how much free HDD space do you have?
3) What video card are you using and are the drivers up to date?

(CS and CS2 really like that old swap drive and if you don't have
enough room...zat.)

I've had every PS version since 5, skipping 6, and none of them
through PSCS ever skipped a beat or faltered. PS CS2 has pulled a
couple of odd ones, but hasn't stopped altogether, yet.

A year-and-a-half-old 3.2 Gig, 1GB 2x200MB drives, second one for
scratch only, so far.

The odd bit was: I opened and browsed a couple of directories of raw
images, picked and opened one in ACR, closed the "Bridge" and worked
over the image. Closed the image and went to "browse" again, and
nothing came up. Couple-three tries and nothing. No Bridge, no Browse.
Hmph. Closed and reopened PS CS2. Still no joy. It would open and
manipulate from "Open", but no Bridge, no Browse.

Closed PS CS2 and looked at the Task Manager: Bridge was running, but
no indication on the taskbar. Ended Task on the Bridge.exe, and
nothing collapsed. Opened PS CS2 and it all came right. Three days
later, still no problems.

What kind of a hiccup was that? Come to think of it, I have a utility
(Phrase Express) that occasionally loses its tiny icon while still
running. If I try to restart it, it has the common decency to tell me
there is an instance running and I'll have to close it before opening
it. Task Manager shows it and ends it, and it then starts and operates
normally, and recovers its place in the tray.

More magick than science, I say.

See if there are newer drivers for your video card would be my first guess.

I'd go ask on one of the Photoshop specific newsgroups.

How do I tell about the video card? I don't know.

Second suggestion for that. How do I tell what video card I have & if newer
drivers are available?

Right click on the desktop.
Select Display Properties
Select Settings
The box lists both monitor type and graphics card.

As for the drivers, you should get those from the manufacturer.
