Troubleshooting Problems Opening E3D Files


Troubles Opening E3D Files

Macromedia Extreme 3D is Not Installed

You attempt to load your E3D file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The E3D File Extension". Customarily, this means that Macromedia Extreme 3D is not installed on %%os%%. 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: When you have another program installed that you know will open your E3D, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").


Wrong Version of Macromedia Extreme 3D is Installed

Your Macromedia Extreme 3D Object file is incompatible with Macromedia Extreme 3D because you might have the wrong version installed. Installing the latest version of Macromedia Extreme 3D from Macromedia is recommended. Your Macromedia Extreme 3D Object file was probably created by a newer release of Macromedia Extreme 3D than what's currently installed your computer.


Tip: Investigate your E3D file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


Primarily, problems experienced when opening E3D files are due to having the incorrect version of Macromedia Extreme 3D installed on your computer.


Other E3D File Opening Causes

Errors opening Macromedia Extreme 3D Object files can still occur even with the latest Macromedia Extreme 3D software installed on your computer. If you are still having problems opening E3D files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. Other contributing causes:
