Troubleshooting Problems Opening BKW Files

Typical BKW Opening Challenges

FontEdit Isn't There

Double-clicking your BKW file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open BKW File". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have FontEdit for %%os%% installed on your computer. The OS won't know what to do with your BKW file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.

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

Incorrect FontEdit Version

It is possible that your version of FontEdit isn't able to open your FontEdit Image File file due to incompatibility. If you've got the wrong version of FontEdit installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.

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

Summary: Not having the right FontEdit version on your computer can cause problems opening BKW files.

Other BKW File Issues

Errors opening FontEdit Image File files can still occur even with the latest FontEdit software installed on your computer. If you are continuing to have errors with loading BKW files, other external issues might be to blame. Other contributing causes:

• BKW file references in the Windows Registry are broken
• Corruption of the BKW file description inside the Registry
• FontEdit or another BKW application experienced a flawed installation
• BKW file corruption
• Your BKW has adversely impacted by malware
• Device drivers for BKW-related hardware are out-of-date
• Windows cannot load your FontEdit Image File file due to insufficient resources (eg. RAM)
