Nikon D3 NEF thumbnails won't expand into larger screen on clicking

Help Please. When viewing the raw 14 bit files from the new Nikon D3 in Bridge we see broad black bands down two opposite sides of the thumbnails and the thumbnail will not expand to larger screen view when clicked on; they stay at thumbnail size in the larger preview window. Jpegs created at the same time have no such problem. Funny thing is that sometimes these raw files will not have the large black border bands when Bridge starts afresh but new files imported into Bridge have the problem. Older files that had the problem often are self corrected but no amount of idle time in Bridge seems to assure the correction process to work out or catch up. Very hit and miss, mostly miss. >>>Maybe not surprisingly, if an NEF file is opened in ACR and processed and closed it then works properly in Bridge afterwards.<<<

A few technical notes: Bridge v2.1.1.9, ACR 4.3.1 and CS3 v10.0.1 Images are imported through Nikon Camera Control Pro 2, v2.0.0 or Nikon Transfer v1.0 or card readers; makes no difference. When opened in CS3/ACR all files are normal.

Any thoughts on how to make these files work normally in Bridge without going into ACR first?

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
