Can you run your eye over this page and see if everything is kosher?

Gee, I've never heard of that before.

Does your computer only have one screen attached?  You're not running a multi-screen setup?

Yay!!

Oh yes, you do need the Spyder.

The Eizo software works with a range of calibration devices to achieve the high quality colour representation that Eizo is famous for.

But I haven't heard if Eizo have recently updated the software to provide compatibility with the newest Spyders.

Your English is fantastic!

Oh!  Well, the Eizo has its own "Color Navigator" software.  I have a ColorEdge here too.

Do you know if your version of Color Navigator is compatible with your new Spyder?

Ignore that nonsense.

Does your screen match your pro lab prints, or not?

Oh Sandra, I'm so sorry, I haven't yet saved up enough money to buy the SpyderPro, so I haven't been able to write instructions for it yet

Yes, try installing and activating on another computer.

I'm so sorry, I'm stumped.  I don't know why this would be happening.

Maybe try plugging the calibrator into a different USB port?

No issues at all, as long as E drive is internal.

Have you tried numbers 2 and 3 on this page?  https://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/troubleshoot-errors-freezes-bridge.html

Bummer

In Creative Cloud, you can choose to install an older version of Bridge, down to 12.  Maybe try that?

As far as I can understand, it seems like my CPU could be the issue. But that stuff is mostly hogwash to me.

 

I dunno, it might be your geforce 1650.

Is the problem limited to Bridge?  Photoshop and Camera Raw are running okay?

will not let me install because apparently my system doesn't meet the requirements needed.

Does it give you any more info about this?

Well, the third one is at least.

Your Photoshop is so old now, I don't think you need to have any of those turned on.

Yes you are.

Restart immediately, then run Glary.

Come on @Liverbird!

Am I any closer to getting on the levels class  yet? 

You haven't posted a single raw edit yet!

Definitely get the softbox if you can.  Just make sure you have heaps of time to experiment with it before the real shoot.

You have to avoid mixed lighting at all costs.  Whatever that takes.

Well I hope it's a lot better than this.

The mixed temperatures of the light is AWFUL.
