BCM File Complications


Frequent BCM Opening Issues

Adobe Bridge CC Removed

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open BCM Files" when trying to open your BCM. If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Adobe Bridge CC for %%os%% installed on your computer. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.


Tip: Another BCM-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.


Incorrect Adobe Bridge CC Version

It is possible that your version of Adobe Bridge CC isn't able to open your Adobe Bridge Cache File file due to incompatibility. If you've got the wrong version of Adobe Bridge CC installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.


Tip: Investigate your BCM file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening BCM files are due to having the wrong version of Adobe Bridge CC installed.


Other BCM File Issues

Assuming you have the right Adobe Bridge CC version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening BCM files. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening BCM files. Issues that aren't software-related:

  • BCM file type Registry entries are wrong
  • Corruption of the BCM file description inside the Registry
  • Defective install of a BCM program, such as Adobe Bridge CC
  • File corruption affecting your BCM file
  • The BCM is infected with a virus
  • Hardware related to BCMs has device driver corruption
  • Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Adobe Bridge Cache File format
