Understanding GDM Issues

Issues Opening GDM Files

Awave Studio Disappeared

Double-clicking your GDM file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open GDM File". When this happens, it is commonly due to Awave Studio missing in %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the GDM file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.

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

Awave Studio Requires Update

In other instances, your Bells, Whistles, And Sound Boards Module file version may not be supported by your version of Awave Studio. Installing the latest version of Awave Studio from FMJ-Software is recommended. This issue mainly occurs when your Bells, Whistles, And Sound Boards Module file was created by a newer version of Awave Studio than you have on your PC.

Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the GDM file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.

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

Other GDM File Opening Causes

Although you might already have Awave Studio or another GDM-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Bells, Whistles, And Sound Boards Module files.

• Mistaken removal of the Windows registry GDM description
• Awave Studio or another GDM application experienced a flawed installation
• Something has caused file corruption of your GDM
