Why will Photoshop CC 2015.5 no longer open JPG or NEF files but does open PSD files?

After the most recent updates to Photoshop CC when I try to open JPG files I get a dialog box saying "Could not complete your request because the file was not found."

When I try opening NEF files a box appears which says "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file.

PSD files open with no problem.

I'm running Photoshop on a 2011 iMac under MacOS 10.9.5

Here is the list of support cameras:

Cameras supported by Camera Raw

For Nikon D90 the Minimum Camera Raw plug-in version required: 5.1 (CC 2015.5 should have v9 or 10)

Also I found this page: Troubleshoot Camera Raw | Photoshop, Photoshop Elements

Which Nikon camera are your NEF files from?

John, The NEFs are all from a Nikon D90.

Hello!

The version of Camera RAW that you have is compatible with the CC.2015.5 and the current Nikon camera? (NEF)

Camera Raw plug-in installer

Paul, I'm not sure how to determine if the version of camera RAW is compatible with the camera and CC 2015.5, but I can say that I have never had a problem with the RAW files before this.

From your Creative Cloud Desktop Panel, or from inside your CC 2015.5 Application folder, run the uninstaller and try a reinstall.

After that, restart your Mac.

Thanks, gener7, but that didn't result in any improvement. Unless that last update I did has a particular "dislike" for my now somewhat aged OS on this machine I can't figure what has happened.
