CS4 Bridge not converting .CR2 files to DNG

[Sundari]

Thought I had already posted this thread but now cannot find it !!
I am having a problem when I upload photos from my camera via CS4 Uploader. For a start the CR2 icon is shown not my photos then when I "get photos" Bridge will not convert them to DNG.
I have downloaded the latest DNG converter as well as Camera Raw 5.7 which I believe is the latest version for CS4.
When I go into CR it shows version 5.7. When I go to Bridge or PS Camera Raw preferences it shows version 5.0. I have tried all I know and am now at my wits end!! I would have thought that 5.7 should be shown each time or am I wrong.
Any help or advice would be very welcome.
Thanks

What camera are the files from?

If it is a newish camera older versions Adobe software (like CS4) may not support it.

I had that issue as well when I started shooting with my 7D. I have CS3 and I can't process RAW in Bridge. I've searched and searched for a solution but it comes down to the fact that Adobe stopped making updates for older versions of CS and there is no fix except to upgrade your CS. BTW, don't make the same mistake I did - you cannot upgrade PS alone if you have the entire suite. I wasted $200 trying to do that - still makes me mad!
So, I process my RAW images in DPP and then open them in PS...a bit of a pain but I also can't afford the upgrade!

My camera is a Canon 50D. I have used CS4 ok with it on my previous computer and when Camera Raw comes up (the time where is shows version 5.7) it shows my camera details on the heading.

I think Adobe need to realise that no everyone can afford the prices they charge for upgrades etc. and make sure that updates are available for the older versions.

A manual installation may help.

This is the read.me file.

Please, you think they don't know that regular people can't afford PS? They make most of their money from businesses that buy commercial PS licenses.

That is what I have already done to no effect. I am sure it is something simple that I am not doing but cannot find what. It will not convert CR2 to DNG and will only show the CR2 icon in the uploader not thumbnails.
Thanks for your help in anyway!!
