Camera Raw editing is not enabled CS6 FIX (PC)

When you get error message: Camera Raw editing is not enabled in Adobe Bridge CS6 this is a simple way to fix this problem.

Tested with Adobe Photoshop CS6 64bit (should work with 32bit too) Windows 7. I know that this fix does not work 100% with all PCs but try...

What I did.
1. Un-installed Photoshop CS5 and Bridge
2. Cleaned the registry of Photoshop traces.
2. Install Photoshop CS6, the Bridge CS6 was installed with PS CS6.
3. Applied this Fix.

btw. the problem with Camera Raw existed only on my home desktop, in my office's PC I did not have to apply the fix. So the problem depends on the configuration of the PC. That's why the fix does not work 100% with all. But it is always worth to try.

For those of you (like myself) that this amtlib.dll solution did not work for, the below is a work around for the major issue - quick editing of jpeg's in Camera Raw from Bridge -

1) Open Photoshop/ Edit/ Preferences/ Camera Raw..
2) Go to bottom of page
3) Change the JPEG option to: Automatically open all supported JPEGS
4) Go to Bridge and double click a jpeg
5) DONE..now your JPEGs open first to Camera Raw when you import them to photoshop.

Sorry if this was already covered :)

PEOPLE WHO STILL HAVE PROBLEMS! Note that you have to put 32bit amtlib.dll file not 64bit amtlib.dll file from photoshop!!
I just tried that and it
You need 32bit photoshop dll file for your bridge in other words. :) (If your Photoshop is for 64 bit system)
