Bridge CS3 turning Canon thumbnails into garbage

When I open a Canon image file folder containing cr2 raw and jpeg images from my canon 40D In Bridge CS3, at first the thubmnail images show up with the beautiful color that I shot. Then, one by one, *poof*, *poof*, poof*, bridge cs3 turns the thumbnails into garbage by darkening and desaturating each and every one of them. What the hay? The images are shot using the adobe rgb color space in the 40D.

What is Bridge cs3 doing to my image thumbnails? Why is Bridge cs3 doing this to my image thumbnails? How can I stop Bridge cs3 from doing this to my image thumbnails?

When I use the Canon program DPP to open the images, the thumbnails look great (jpg or raw), and the images look great when I open them. But I don't want to use DPP. I want to use Adobe Bridge & CS3.

Any help appreciated.

In the Bridge forum that has been a lot of postings on Cannon and poor quality thumbnails. Might try a search there and see if you get any hints for solving the problem.
