Yes I found the answer by trial and error. Easy quick fix to the
Camera Raw editing requires that a qualifing product has been launched issue
Bridge now wants to know which program to default to when opening a RAW file. Highlight your file (or files) you wish to edit or open in Camera RAW. Go to the top bar,the one that says Adobe Bridge CS Click on the word File, drill down to "open with" find photoshop from the arrow box, and click Photoshop. If you do this enough with different raw files the default becomes photoshop, and you can then just klick the raw icon and things will work correctly once again. It only took me three times to get it to default.
Cheers!
