Understanding CVD Issues

Troubles Opening CVD Files

Calamus SL Disappeared

When trying to open your CVD file, you get the error "Can't Open CVD File Type". Usually, this is because you do not have Calamus SL for %%os%% installed. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.

Tip: Another CVD-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.

Wrong Version of Calamus SL is Installed

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Calamus SL installed that's incompatible with your Calamus Vector Image File type. If you do not have the proper version Calamus SL (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. This issue mainly occurs when your Calamus Vector Image File file was created by a newer version of Calamus SL than you have on your PC.

Tip: Right-clicking on your CVD, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.

Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening CVD files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.

Other Causes of CVD File Opening Problems

Even with the correct version of Calamus SL installed, you can still experience difficulties opening CVDs. If you are still having problems opening CVD files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. Other contributing causes:

• Invalid CVD file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
• The CVD file description within the Windows Registry was removed
• Invalid installation of a CVD-associated program (eg. Calamus SL)
• Your CVD file is corrupted (issues with your Calamus Vector Image File file itself)
• Past or present virus infection has affected your CVD
• Drivers associated with CVD software need to be updated
• Too many applications are open on your PC to load your Calamus Vector Image File file successfully
