An update. I restarted my computer and still have the same problem. This
time I tried associating the photo files with LR5 and that works. I still
cannot choose PSCC as a way to open the files, which is what I would
prefer. The only programs that I have added or changed in the last month
were just updates to ones I already had - SyncBack, BreezeBrowser, and
Adobe Flash Player. I changed to PSCC from PSC6 on June 18th and have not
had this problem before. I just tried and I am able to choose Adobe Bridge
to open photo files so that's what I'll do for now.
Thanks, everybody.
