Thumbnails in cs5 bridge opening in cs3

I have to have CS5 and CS3 both. I use CS3 with Album Design because the version I have only works up to CS4.

When in CS5 bridge the thumbnails open in Photoshop CS3. I can open one raw thumbnail in CS5 with no problem..but when I select more than one raw thumbnail in CS5 bridge they open in photoshop CS3..how can I stop that and make them all open in CS5? I went into CS5 bridge and file associatiions and got the canon raw files to open in CS5 and that works on a one on one basis but selecting more than one they open in CS3...

What happens if you hit Cmd+R in Bridge?

I had to reformat my hard drive and start all over, tried taking out CS5 and CS3 and then I could not reinstall them. Nothing I did would remove all traces of both programs from the hard drive and registry, computer thought they were still installed. So I just got fed up and reformatted the drive and put CS5 on it only. I have another old laptop so I'll put Album DS and CS3 on that.

Thanks for the response though, I just couldn't wait for a response any longer, got a wedding I have to get done. I usually shoot jpeg but wanted to try raw again and then this happens.

I would like to reinstall CS3 and Album DS but what if it messes up again, I don't want to get into that mess again.

It's always best to install the oldest version first!
If you want to install CS3 uninstall CS5 first it will save so much time.
I have CS3,CS4 and CS5 Master Collection installed and no problems.
If you install CS3 last everything will then default to that program.

It's often file association problems when this sort of thing happens.

Yeah, I went into the file association part of CS5 and everything was changed to CS3..I changed them back to CS5 but that didn't fix it..in fact, when I open one thumbnail from bridge it opened in CS5, but when I highlighted more than one everything opened in CS3. I went into the VIEW part of folders for file association and when I selected CS5 photoshop it still said CS3 and would not let me choose CS5 even though I was selecting it.

Glad you told me. I'll remove CS5 today and install CS3 and then reinstall 5 and see if that works.

Thanks...I used that and it didn't work. It never removed any registry entries of CS3 or 5. It also never touched the plugins folders of either version.
