SND File Complications


Issues Opening SND Files

Microsoft Windows Media Player Not Present

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open SND Files" when trying to open your SND. Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Microsoft Windows Media Player isn't installed on your PC. You won't be able to double-click to open your SND because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.


Tip: If you know of another program that can open your SND file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.


Outdated Microsoft Windows Media Player

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Microsoft Windows Media Player installed that's incompatible with your Sound File type. If you've got the wrong version of Microsoft Windows Media Player installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This issue mainly occurs when your Sound File file was created by a newer version of Microsoft Windows Media Player than you have on your PC.


Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your SND file and clicking "Properties".


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


Associated Difficulties Loading SND Files

Assuming you have the right Microsoft Windows Media Player version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening SND files. If you're still experiencing problems opening SND files, there could be other computer problems. Additional factors include:

  • Invalid SND file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
  • Unintentional removal of the description of the SND file inside the Windows Registry
  • Invalid installation of a SND-associated program (eg. Microsoft Windows Media Player)
  • Your SND file is corrupted (issues with your Sound File file itself)
  • Past or present virus infection has affected your SND
  • Device drivers of the hardware associated with your SND file are corrupt or out-of-date
  • Windows has inadequate resources to open your Sound File file
