SDM Troubleshooting

Troubles Opening SDM Files

StarOffice is Not Installed

When trying to open your SDM file, you get the error "Can't Open SDM File Type". Customarily, this means that StarOffice is not installed on %%os%%. The typical path of opening your SDM with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.

Tip: When another SDM application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.

StarOffice Requires Update

In other instances, your StarOffice Mail Message file version may not be supported by your version of StarOffice. Visit the Oracle Corporation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of StarOffice. This problem is predominately due to having a StarOffice Mail Message file version that was created by a newer version of StarOffice than what you have installed on your PC.

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

Conclusion: The majority of SDM file opening issues are due to not having the correct StarOffice version installed.

Associated Difficulties Loading SDM Files

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of StarOffice will resolve your issue. Other SDM opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Problems unrelated to software:

• SDM file type Registry entries are wrong
• Corruption of the SDM file description inside the Registry
• Partial installation of StarOffice that did not fully complete
• Something has caused file corruption of your SDM
• Your SDM has adversely impacted by malware
• Device drivers for SDM-related hardware are out-of-date
• Too many applications are open on your PC to load your StarOffice Mail Message file successfully
