How are you trying to open them? Directly in Photoshop? From Explorer/Finder?

Try to open the raw file in Camera Raw directly from Bridge. If that also fails, the problem is likely with ACR, and you can download here and do a fresh install. If not, I'd suggest resetting your Photoshop preferences: Hold down Ctrl, Alt, and Shift while Photoshop is opening, and choose "yes" at the message screen.

What kind of raw file are you trying to open and from what camera?
