Troubleshooting Problems Opening SWB Files


Frequent SWB Opening Issues

Adobe Photoshop is Not Installed

Double-clicking your SWB file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open SWB File". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Adobe Photoshop for %%os%% installed on your computer. The OS won't know what to do with your SWB file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: If you don't have Adobe Photoshop installed, and you know of another program to open your SWB file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".


Obsolete Version of Adobe Photoshop

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Adobe Photoshop installed that's incompatible with your Adobe Photoshop Data type. Download the latest Adobe Photoshop version from the Adobe Systems Incorporated website to ensure you have the correct one installed. 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: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your SWB file and clicking "Properties".


Regardless, most of the SWB file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Adobe Photoshop installed.


Associated Difficulties Loading SWB Files

You can still experience errors opening SWB files even with the latest version of Adobe Photoshop installed on your PC. If you are continuing to have errors with loading SWB files, other external issues might be to blame. Problems unrelated to software:

  • File references in the Windows Registry for SWB are wrong
  • The SWB file description within the Windows Registry was removed
  • Defective install of a SWB program, such as Adobe Photoshop
  • SWB file corruption
  • Your SWB has adversely impacted by malware
  • Hardware associated with SWB has outdated drivers
  • Windows has inadequate resources to open your Adobe Photoshop Data file
