I had nothing but fucking problems with CS2. Dunno what your downloading capability is, but I would grab CS3 post-haste - I had zero problems using that. My question though is, are you doing enough RAW-tweaking in Camera Raw to make it worthwhile? Picassa can open RAW files, and then open a JPEG/TIFF/W.E in CS2 - doesn't have the pre-post-processing power, but it should suffice.
CR2 is Canons RAW file format (I dont think theres actually a .RAW file extension). On the D80 its .NEF. You may just have to update to CS3, as CS2 Camera Raw wasn't all that great to begin with, and may not have newer camera file support.

If the problem is indeed that your version of CAMERA RAW doesn't support that file type, then you'll probably just have to find an alternative option, or somehow get an updated version of CS2. I'm sure theres a "broked" version of a CAMERA RAW update that supports CR2, shouldn't be too hard to find.

Support for the 5D was added in Camera Raw 3.3. So please make sure you do have 3.7 installed. Go to Photoshop and click on the Help menu, select About Plugins and then select Camera Raw.

Sounds like this is the route you need to go, if you want support in CS2.

a wide angle telephoto would be good. I am getting one for my backpacking trip this summer.

That is a pretty good one. I tend to not trust third party lenses though, had a few bad experiences with them in the past. |

So have I. But that is a good mm length for outdoors shooting. I plan on getting a similar Nikkor lense for when I go backpacking this summer.

wide-angle telephoto. . .o-0
I'd stay away from anything that covers a wide to true telephoto area, because it's not going to be as great as a true wide-angle lens, and a true prime telephoto. The lenses that do cover that range are great for all purpose kit lens replacers though.
If you have some cash (especially if you're heading to Iraq) I would opt for a lil 14/18-24MM lens (with a good aperture range), and a 100MM (cant remember the exact length) prime/macro lens. Keep your current kit lens for general shooting, and use the other two for grabbing super wides and good 1:1 telephoto shots. You wont be disappointed.
Tamron is good, but Sigma is generally priced at about the same and (in my experience) better regarded.
