GWB Troubleshooting

Typical GWB Opening Challenges

InterWrite Reader Isn't There

You attempt to load your GWB file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The GWB File Extension". When this happens, it is commonly due to InterWrite Reader missing in %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your GWB file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.

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

InterWrite Reader Requires Update

In other instances, your Interwrite Presentation File file version may not be supported by your version of InterWrite Reader. You will need to download a newer version of InterWrite Reader if you don't have the right version. The primary cause of this problem is that your Interwrite Presentation File file was created by a different (newer) version of InterWrite Reader than what's installed.

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

Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening GWB files are due to having the wrong version of InterWrite Reader installed.

Other GWB File Opening Causes

Assuming you have the right InterWrite Reader version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening GWB files. If you are continuing to have errors with loading GWB files, other external issues might be to blame. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):

• GWB file type Registry entries are wrong
• Corruption of the GWB file description inside the Registry
• Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the GWB format
• The GWB itself is corrupted
• GWB file integrity has been compromised by malware
• Hardware associated with GWB has outdated drivers
• Insufficient system resources to successfully open Interwrite Presentation File files
