Understanding CUR Issues


Common CUR Opening Problems

ACD Systems ACDSee Disappeared

If you attempt to load your CUR file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open CUR Files". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have ACD Systems ACDSee for %%os%% installed on your computer. The typical path of opening your CUR with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


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


Outdated ACD Systems ACDSee

Your Windows Cursor File file is incompatible with ACD Systems ACDSee because you might have the wrong version installed. Download the latest ACD Systems ACDSee version from the ACD Systems website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Most of the time your Windows Cursor File file was created by a newer ACD Systems ACDSee than what you have installed.


Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of CUR file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).


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


Other Causes of CUR File Opening Problems

Assuming you have the right ACD Systems ACDSee version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening CUR files. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening CUR files. Other contributing causes:

  • Windows Registry CUR file paths that are incorrect
  • Unintentional removal of the description of the CUR file inside the Windows Registry
  • ACD Systems ACDSee or another CUR application experienced a flawed installation
  • CUR file corruption
  • Your CUR has adversely impacted by malware
  • Device drivers for CUR-related hardware are out-of-date
  • Windows has inadequate resources to open your Windows Cursor File file
