Can't convert Canon CR2 RAW files to photoshop CS2- please help!

How do I get my pictures to be seen in regular windows instead of using photoshop it is easier to move files and sort if I can just see them in windows. Is there a plug in for windows for cr2 files??

Thanks to everyone for their help. I download the DNG Converter; it worked great.

You either need CS3, or you can use the DNG Converter (free) to convert the Canon files to DNG files that CS2 can read.

which means i need cs3 right?

Not supported until ACR 4.1 or the 4.1 DNG Converter or Lightroom 1.1.

I purged the cache. still didn't open. I did find out that the camera is a Canon EOS-1D Mark III.

Have you Purged the Cache for the offending folder(s)? Go to Tools menu in Bridge:

Tools > Cache > Purge the cache for 'foldername'

Thanks. I'll double check the type of camera. I have already checked the version number. It is 3.7.

Support for the 5D was added in Camera Raw 3.3. So please make sure you do have 3.7 installed. Go to Photoshop and click on the Help menu, select About Plugins and then select Camera Raw.

You need to know for sure, Laurie. Even though the files have the same CR2 extension, they are very different from each specific camera model.
