    ReferenceError: Object is invalid

    DavidSalahi Community Member

      I recently installed CS5 and was disappointed to find that a long-standing bug in Bridge still exists. The problem occurs every time I open two windows in Bridge. At some point, during the process Bridge gets messed up and I get the error:

       

      ReferenceError: Object is invalid

       

      This time, before the error occurred I was trying to switch between the two instances of Bridge but was unable to get to one of the two. Both instances showed in previews in the taskbar but when I clicked on either one I always got switched to just one instance. I could not get to the other one. When I exited the instance I was able to access the error occurred. About five times.

          I use 2 windows of Bridge all the time and have never had a problem.  I am using CS3

           

          Not that I am qualified to intrepret them have you looked at the crash log in the OS to see if it gives you a clue as to what is happening?

           

          My gut feeling is that it is the video card or driver.  What are you using?

            Curt,

            Interesting. I get the problem constantly (always? I've been burned so many times I don't try it much any more).

             

            What crash logs are you referring to (I'm on Win 7 x64 but had it on XP and CS4, too; probably CS3 also, don't remember).

             

            Currently running ATI Radeon HD 4800, but I had the problem on my  previous PC as well.

              I am running a low end ATI card (2400 with 128k memory) with 2 monitors. Have "use software rendering" checked in advanced preferences.  Seems to work fine.  I take it you click on File/New Window?

               

              I have never used a crash log but understand it will keep the log for couple of days.  There is lots of technical gibberish there, but look for something you might recognize. Go the the OS help file or do a web inquiry as it has everything.

               

              It is probably not Bridge, but some hardware or software conflict.

               

              Good luck.
