M8 compressed DNG files not working in CS2

My Photoshop CS2 version 9.0.2 cannot read the compressed dng format files from my M8. CaptureOne, Adobe Bridge and Lightroom can but Picassa2 cannot. Is it me or is it a feature of the new format requiring upgrades of CS2 and Picassa2? Anyone else having this issue?

I've been reading M8 .dng files for a month on an iMac via PSCS2 and Adobe Bridge and Camera RAW 3.(4?) - anyway, a 10-month-old version of camera RAW.

 

As simple as - drop them in a folder and tell Bridge "look in that folder". There they are, and there they open.

Sometimes there are different ACR installations lurking around, the older versions being the most resilient, I don't know why; it happened to me with one user profile in XP. Try to reinstall the latest version of Adobe RAW and it should take care of it.

I have updated and upgraded and still no joy. This is getting frustrating. Is there a way that I can post a dng image here and let someone else try to open it in CS2? Maybe the problem is with the camera software and not with my software. The magenta problem is very annoying - I have 409 images from ballroom dance checkouts tonight where the guys were all wearing various shades of black which turn out as blue/magenta. Fixing in photoshop is going to be a real PITA.

Thanks to some help from a Lugger downunder I got it fixed. It seems that the Adobe updater puts the filename "CameraRaw.8bi" in a temporary directory instead of where it belongs in C:/Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/CS2/File Formats. This doesn't fix the same problem with Picassa2.
