What happens with you double click on the selected image? Also, I have tried to open a jpeg in RAW and Bridge knows I am wrong. Are you sure the image is a RAW image?

Is this a change from a previously stable CS3 installation or a new installation?
Download and manually install the latest raw converter update. Make sure it is installed correctly and Photoshop is not running when you install it. While the Adobe Raw Converter recognizes nearly every raw format you may have the oddball one that is not recognized?

Raw has some stubborn bugs that Adobe refuses to recognize. Here are 2: – no matter how the preferences are checked for some users, moi included, double clicking on tif and jpegs opens the images in Photosop instead of the raw converter; fortunately right clicking on the thumbnail in Bridge gives the option of opening in the ARC. (Opening tifs and jpegs in the ARC to use ARC controls generates the question of why these controls are in the ARC and not PS in the first place. Adobe has carelessly morphed PS into a three headed monster of PS, ACR and Bridge).
– Bridge randomly forgets to use your custom workspace for no apparent reason. This can occur on opening Bridge or on re-opening Bridge during an extended session of CS3 usage.

I tried checking "Prefer ACR for JPG and Tiff files" in Prefs,( though why anyone would open JPGs in CR when all the in camera manipulations have been already applied is a mystery) yet NEF files still open PS, then in CR.

Can’t be any help other than to say you are not alone. I have the same problem and I am on a Mac. Google "no camera raw in bridge" and you will find a number of other blogs referring to the disappearance of CR from within BridgeCS3 including the complete omission of the option to – open Raw files in bridge by double clicking- in the General Tab of Bridges’ preferences. Someone on the Adobe forum actually had full functionality and then lost it overnight. I’ve never had it since installation. Curiouser and curiouser ? Keep searching and hopefully someone will post the solution. It seems from what I have read that there is probably a conflict/duplication somewhere that has buried the access to the preference. I’ve seen posts going back to June 07 so maybe Adobe will pull their finger out if we make a big enough fuss. Cheers.
