Recently upgraded from photoshop cs to cs2, and cs2 cant open the raw .NEF files from our camera. Says its not the right kind of document, but CS could do it fine

what the bloody hell?

Ah tiz an easy fix (drove me nuts when I first installed CS2)

Grabe the lastest copy of Adobe Camera Raw from Here

To install Camera RAW to Photoshop CS2:

1. Exit Photoshop CS2 or Adobe Bridge.
2. Open My Computer.
3. Double-click Local Disk ( C: ).
4. Navigate to: (Please read directory carefully)

Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS2/File Formats

5. Move the existing Camera Raw.8bi plug-in to another location (for example, a new folder on your desktop). Ensure you keep this version in case you need to revert back.
6. Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw.8bi, from the download into the same folder as Step 4.
7. Launch Photoshop CS2 or Adobe Bridge.

NOTE: If generic camera thumbnails appear in Adobe Bridge, please follow the these steps:

1. Check to make sure the plug-in was installed in the correct directory in Step 6 above.
2. Start Adobe Bridge.
3. Choose Tools > Cache > Purge Central Cache.

Important: Purging the Central Cache deletes cached thumbnail information for all folders. It also deletes labels, ratings, and rotation settings for read-only files (for example, files on a CD or locked files) or file formats that don't have XMP support.
