Understanding SBL Issues

Frequent SBL Opening Issues

Adobe Flash Player Removed

When you double-click your SBL file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Customarily, this means that Adobe Flash Player is not installed on %%os%%. The typical path of opening your SBL with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.

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

Adobe Flash Player is Out-of-Date

In other instances, your Shockwave Flash Object file version may not be supported by your version of Adobe Flash Player. If you've got the wrong version of Adobe Flash Player 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: Investigate your SBL file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.

Summary: Not having the right Adobe Flash Player version on your computer can cause problems opening SBL files.

Associated Difficulties Loading SBL Files

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Adobe Flash Player will resolve your issue. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening SBL files. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):

• SBL file type Registry entries are wrong
• Mistaken removal of the Windows registry SBL description
• Partial installation of Adobe Flash Player that did not fully complete
• Your SBL file is corrupted (issues with your Shockwave Flash Object file itself)
• Past or present virus infection has affected your SBL
• Hardware associated with SBL has outdated drivers
• Windows cannot load your Shockwave Flash Object file due to insufficient resources (eg. RAM)
