Sources of SSD Problems
Common Problems Opening SSD Files
WindowBlinds Not Present
If you attempt to load your SSD file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open SSD Files". Customarily, this means that WindowBlinds is not installed on %%os%%. The typical path of opening your SSD with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.
Tip: If you don't have WindowBlinds installed, and you know of another program to open your SSD file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".
Obsolete Version of WindowBlinds
Sometimes your installed version of WindowBlinds won't support your WindowBlinds Skin File List file. If you've got the wrong version of WindowBlinds installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This issue mainly occurs when your WindowBlinds Skin File List file was created by a newer version of WindowBlinds than you have on your PC.
Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of SSD file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).
Regardless, most of the SSD file opening problems relate to not having the right version of WindowBlinds installed.
Other Causes of SSD File Opening Problems
In the majority of cases, installing the right version of WindowBlinds will resolve your issue. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening SSD files. Other contributing causes:
- SSD file type Registry entries are wrong
- Unintentional removal of the description of the SSD file inside the Windows Registry
- Invalid installation of a SSD-associated program (eg. WindowBlinds)
- Your SSD file is corrupted (issues with your WindowBlinds Skin File List file itself)
- SSD file integrity has been compromised by malware
- SSD-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
- Windows has inadequate resources to open your WindowBlinds Skin File List file
