    More info:

    I tired reinstalling and uninstalling Nikon PictureProject again, but this time I told the uninstaller NOT to remove PP's shared DLLs. Well, that got rid of the error message, but now Photoshop CS STILL uses the Nikon NEF converter even though PictureProject is uninstalled!

    Somehow I need to tell Photoshop not to use the Nikon DLLs and to use Adobe Raw instead.

    Most frustrating!

    Talking Problem Solved!

    I scoured my Plug-Ins directory:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS\Plug-Ins\Adobe Photoshop Only\File Formats

    and discovered:

    Nikon NEF Plugin LE.8bi

    I REMOVED this plug-in and problem is solved. Apparently Nikon did not see the need (or forgot) to script removal of this plug-in in their PictureProject uninstaller. What threw me off was the fact that they'd installed it in the "Photoshop Only" directory instead of the higher level File Formats directory, which is where I keep my Adobe Raw plugin.

    Thank you, Sebastian, for your suggestions. It was great to learn about the "delete preferences" option.

    Hopefully anyone else who's had this problem will see this thread.

    Best regards,

    James

    Dear James,
    I have Photoshop Elements 3.0. I recently bought a Nikon D80 and installed the software.
    I have not been able to use Photoshop because a pop up says: Application has failed to start because NkNEFPlugin.dll was not found. Reinstalling this application may fix this problem. I searched for all plug-ins but only found Adobe Photoshop. If the plug-in cannot be found and I have removed Nikon's programs from my computer, then I am at a loss for what might solve the problem. I understand all the frustration that comes with this!
    Any suggestions?

    In need of help,
    Emma57
