Did you install the Nikon software after Elements was already on the computer? Look in your plugin folder; I suspect the Nikon plugin went in there and has overridden (overrode?!) the Camera Raw. Try pulling the Nikon plugin out and see what happens.
Hi Beth, I don’t have any Nikon software on my computer. I checked the plug-in folder and the only thing showing is the Adobe DNG and Camera Raw 3.1 which I downloaded to enable using the D2X Raw files. Any other thoughts or places I should look?
Thanks,

I did a forum search for Nikon NEF, because I knew this had come up before. Unfortunately, I didn’t find anything besides the advice I’d already given, except for this:
I got it! That file is hidden fairly well. I was only looking for the .8Bi file extension… then I started noticing several files with that extension, so I looked a little harder and found in the Plug-ins\Editor Only\File Formats and there she was "Nikon NEF Plugin". All’s good again.
Here’s another thread where this is discussed, but, aside from Nikon software taking over, I didn’t find anything else that looked useful. We can hope someone else floats by.

Beth, thanks very much. Before you had posted your last message, I was searching around in looking for the Nikon nef. plug-in. As your second message indicates it is located in the Editor Only plug-ins. I moved it out of there and now everything is working fine. The Nikon plug-in was coming up before the ACR plug-in.
These forums are a life saver, with no one to talk to I would have stumbled around forever with out finding this.
Thanks again

Success! I’m sure glad, because I was out of ideas, and I didn’t see people scrambling to your rescue with other suggestions!
