Understanding EBD Issues

Troubles Opening EBD Files

Microsoft Windows Not Present

If you attempt to load your EBD file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open EBD Files". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Microsoft Windows for %%os%% installed on your computer. The OS won't know what to do with your EBD file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.

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

Obsolete Version of Microsoft Windows

Sometimes your installed version of Microsoft Windows won't support your Windows EBD System File file. Visit the Microsoft Corporation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Microsoft Windows. The primary cause of this problem is that your Windows EBD System File file was created by a different (newer) version of Microsoft Windows than what's installed.

Tip: Investigate your EBD file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.

Primarily, problems experienced when opening EBD files are due to having the incorrect version of Microsoft Windows installed on your computer.

More Causes of Problems Opening EBDs

Although you might already have Microsoft Windows or another EBD-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Windows EBD System File files. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening EBD files. These issues include:

• Unintentional removal of the description of the EBD file inside the Windows Registry
• Microsoft Windows or another EBD application experienced a flawed installation
• File corruption affecting your EBD file
• Your EBD has adversely impacted by malware
• Device drivers for EBD-related hardware are out-of-date
