Sources of SWD Problems


Troubles Opening SWD Files

Adobe Flash Player Isn't There

Double-clicking your SWD file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open SWD File". Customarily, this means that Adobe Flash Player is not installed on %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the SWD file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.


Tip: If you have another software that you know opens SWD files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.


Wrong Version of Adobe Flash Player is Installed

It is possible that your version of Adobe Flash Player isn't able to open your Flash Debug File file due to incompatibility. Installing the latest version of Adobe Flash Player from Adobe Systems Incorporated is recommended. The primary cause of this problem is that your Flash Debug File file was created by a different (newer) version of Adobe Flash Player than what's installed.


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


Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening SWD files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.


Other SWD File Issues

Although you might already have Adobe Flash Player or another SWD-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Flash Debug File files. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening SWD files. Other contributing causes:

  • Windows Registry SWD file paths that are incorrect
  • Deletion of the SWD file description from the Registry by mistake
  • Adobe Flash Player or another SWD application experienced a flawed installation
  • Your SWD can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
  • The SWD is infected with a virus
  • Hardware associated with SWD has outdated drivers
  • Insufficient system resources to successfully open Flash Debug File files
