If it was an upgrade it is required to have both. Been there.

ok sorry ..adobe forum may help you but if you open cs5 first and then go into bridge .I know its backwards but for the moment it may be your only solution. I have cs5 and cs5 64 bit..bridge will only open cs5 64 bit..and I have some plugins on cs5 32 bit that will not work in the newer one..so I have to open the cs5 32 bit first and then go to bridge..crazy and annoying. Only other suggest is to go to file -open with and see if it gives you a choice of cs5?

I found when I installed CS5 and Bridge I put the new Bridge Shortcut Icon and the CS5 shortcut icon on my desktop (Removed the CS4 shortcut icons) and have no problems even with CS4 installed.

Find your Shortcut Icon, right click and make a duplicate. Then drag it onto your desktop.

Why do you have both? Uninstall CS4....when you download an upgrade, the whole program is replaced.
You need to trfr any CS4 plugins to CS5. Make sure all photos are in CS5 before you uninstall. Computer is working harder to run both versions. I have used PS since version 4 came out....CS5 is version 11!

If one has a 64 bit computer...just use 64 bit which is superior to 32 bit. Most all plugins are compatible with 64 bit.
