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

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

I dunno, it might be your geforce 1650.

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

Does it give you any more info about this?

Yes you are. Restart immediately, then run Glary.

Come on @Liverbird!

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.

You're definitely correct to use the NVIDIA.

What will your lighting setup be for the shoot?

It's a start. Now get rid of the wrinkles. Every wrinkle in that backdrop will equate to another one on your face, because editing a set like this will age you by ten years.

MAKE it an option.

Bigger backdrop. Seriously. No matter what it costs, it will still be cheaper than the editing nightmare.

@SamanthaW?

That's great, thanks so much.

Hi Brian, my Mum's old Windows 10 computer is starting to tell her that it will cease getting support and updates from this October. It can't upgrade to W11 (I checked), so how urgently should I tell her to invest in a new computer?

Just to clarify - your laptop screen is the one you're calibrating? You don't have an external screen attached to it?
