I had this exact same problem when I reinstalled Windows XP on my laptop. Unfortunately I don't remember what I did to fix it. I will think about it...

Did you update Adobe Camera Raw to 3.7?

Yes, and the Camera Raw editing works just fine.

This may only affect Windows but did you re-install the windows plugin for showing the RAW thumbnails?

You don't need that plugin for Adobe Bridge.

No. Nor did I when I first installed CS2, but Raw files opened as thumbnails then. Is this available at Adobe.com? What is the plug-in called?

It's a Windows thing. As you say, you didn't have it installed before so probably isn't your problem.

I've had this problem every-so-often when I copy a just RAW file directly from the card. I don't know why or how this happens since this doesn't seem likely.

When I right click the image in Bridge, there is no option to open in Camera RAW. What I do is open it to photoshop. It loads in photoshop and most of the time the thumbnail will appear in Bridge with the option to open in Camera Raw.

Sounds like something isn't getting loaded unless Photoshop is started.

That is what happened to me. I think eventually all the thumbnails did load on their own.

It could also be that Bridge is really slow loading previews.

According to Adobe's web site, the following should fix the problem...

1. Start Bridge.
2. Choose Tools > Cache > Purge Central Cache.

Do you have your camera set to create RAW + JPG files, or just RAW? If it is set to create RAW without JPG, then you will never see thumbnails in Bridge.

This can't be true because I shoot in RAW mode only and I see thumbnails.
