    The D800 is supported in Camera Raw 7.1 and higher

    CS5 is not compatible with Camera Raw 7 and higher. You need CS6 (paid for upgrade or join the Adobe Cloud).

    Or stay with CS5 and use the free DNG converter to convert all D800 Raw files to DNG then edit the DNGs in Bridge and Photoshop
