SRE Troubleshooting

Typical SRE Opening Challenges

Microsoft Windows CE Embedded Isn't There

Double-clicking your SRE file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open SRE File". When this happens, it is commonly due to Microsoft Windows CE Embedded missing in %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your SRE because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.

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

Incorrect Microsoft Windows CE Embedded Version

Your Windows CE 5.0 File file is incompatible with Microsoft Windows CE Embedded because you might have the wrong version installed. Download the latest Microsoft Windows CE Embedded version from the Microsoft Corporation website to ensure you have the correct one installed. 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 SRE file and clicking "Properties".

Regardless, most of the SRE file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Microsoft Windows CE Embedded installed.

More Causes of Problems Opening SREs

Although you might already have Microsoft Windows CE Embedded or another SRE-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Windows CE 5.0 File files. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening SREs. Issues that aren't software-related:

• Windows Registry SRE file paths that are incorrect
• Mistaken removal of the Windows registry SRE description
• Partial installation of Microsoft Windows CE Embedded that did not fully complete
• File corruption affecting your SRE file
• Your SRE is infected with malware
• Drivers associated with SRE software need to be updated
• Too many applications are open on your PC to load your Windows CE 5.0 File file successfully
