Sources of 8BE Problems

Common Problems Opening 8BE Files

Adobe Photoshop Disappeared

If you attempt to load your 8BE file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open 8BE Files". If so, it typically means that you don't have Adobe Photoshop installed for %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the 8BE file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.

Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your 8BE, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").

Adobe Photoshop is Out-of-Date

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Adobe Photoshop Plug-in Filter file that is unsupported by your installed application version. You will need to download a newer version of Adobe Photoshop if you don't have the right version. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.

Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the 8BE file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.

Summary: Not having the right Adobe Photoshop version on your computer can cause problems opening 8BE files.

Additional 8BE Opening Issues

Assuming you have the right Adobe Photoshop version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening 8BE files. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening 8BEs. Problems unrelated to software:

• 8BE file type Registry entries are wrong
• Unintentional removal of the description of the 8BE file inside the Windows Registry
• Adobe Photoshop or another 8BE application experienced a flawed installation
• 8BE file corruption
• The 8BE is infected with a virus
• Hardware associated with 8BE has outdated drivers
• Windows has inadequate resources to open your Adobe Photoshop Plug-in Filter file
