I have asked Nik for help many times but they do not get back to me.Please can you folks help me

Which Nik Plugin?   There are several.

How do you "Use the software"? 

Do you see the Nik Programs in the 'Edit In' menu for Additional External Editors?

Post a screen-clip of the error message.

Is it Lightroom-Classic, or the Nik program, that is giving the error message?

In addition to the questions from @Rob_Cullen , please provide the following information

• version NUMBER of your Lightroom Classic (saying you have the "latest version" is not sufficient)
• version NUMBER of your operating system (we need the NUMBER and not words)
• show us a screen capture of the photo in question in the Lightroom Classic Grid view (use the "Insert Photos" icon to include the screen capture in your reply, do not attach files)

I don't see this screen capture

"show us a screen capture of the photo in question in the Lightroom Classic Grid view"

Here is what I see from your screen- clips:

You do NOT have an image 'Selected' on the film-strip. It needs to show with a bright white border to be 'selected'.

You will not be able to Edit in an External Program unless you have an image selected.

You would be better to be viewing thumbnails in Grid View (Press [G] ).

My screen-clip shows similar to yours- No image selected, Loupe View (one image), and Navigator panel set to show with 'Mouse over Filmstrip'. I now cannot  Edit-in any external program!
