Try uninstalling and re-installing your Nikon software

or

Get a different RAW converter, e.g. PhotoShop ACR

Or maybe a this -
Your Nikon software is older than the camera that made some of your RAW files. You may need to update your software to the latest version.

Or get lightroom or Elements ?

The problem is most likely just a matter of updating the software to the latest version. I had the same problem the 1st time I tried to open RAW images from my new D90.
