Use the free DNG converter. That is what I am doing so I can work on 1D MArk IV raws in Lightroom 3 (beta). The Photoshop CS3 development team train closed shop and moved over Photoshop CS 4 (and beyond) least 18 months ago.
Ian, I ain't the first. I won't be the last. And it will continue to come up again, and again, and again. I gather this is stressful for you to keep repeating the answer to this repetitive question, but Ian, you really do serve a need, by helping the mentally incapacitated and challenged such as myself by your replies, I want to close by saying, I love you for helping me out!...Thanx.

Dont worry you didn't stress me at all. Sorry if it came across like that.
And no I doubt you will be the last by a long way. This really needs to be a sticky at the top of the board/s.
As for your CS3/1D4 issue . as was said earlier you can use the DNG tool which is free or you can upgrade to CS4 to get the better/newer ACR . the other way would be to get Lightroom which has the same ACR. But LR3 will out shortly followed by CS5. so you may be better to wait
Make sure you use the link above and don't confuse the ACR updater with the DNG converter. Two different animals ACR updater won't work unless you have CS4.
You need CS4 for "native" 1D4 raw file support, but CS4 my soon be CS5. Consider that before you upgrade from CS3 to CS4, or before you buy a new camera.
