I tried today using RAW in my Olympus EP2, and now I do not know how to view the images. I have CS2 and PS and GIMP. That's it.
Help.
Help.

You will need to pay up to Adobe, or use the software that came with the camera (best), or other third party software that supports your camera.

Raid, Adobe Bridge should be part of the CS2 package. It should be able to read the RAW files, as long as they are supported by it. Have you tried Bridge?
BTW Lightroom 5 is $79 for the student and teacher edition (which is no different from the regular edition). Your daughters would be eligible to purchase - see the terms and conditions re school students. That's a no-brainer, and the LR development tools are excellent, allowing export straight into CS if necessary.

My advice, if you decide to try Adobe and don't really much like the skin tones, don't try to fix it, just use something else.

I am downloading LR5 (for $79.95)... actually, they require validation of employment first.

You have my sympathies.

Why don't you like LR5? Is it that bad?

I have CS2 but I do not see Bridge anywhere.

Adobe's raw processor uses 'matrix' profiles, which define 0 and 255 for each color channel, then gamma correct (pull up the midtone) to change from linear to gamma corrected. Olympus' (I assume, Canon's and Nikon's do, and C1) converter uses Look Up Table profiles which can define each pixel, instead of just 0 and 255. This allows color correction and manipulation by the converter BEFORE white balancing, which means better controlled color. Be sure to set the camera for srgb even if you're shooting raw.

Do you use a Mac? If so, Aperture is fantastic. I've used it with Olympus EP cameras and now Fuji. It works perfectly and is a joy to use.

I now have LR5, and the problem has been solved. Thank you guys.
