Troubleshooting Problems Opening PBS Files

Frequent PBS Opening Issues

PaintShop Pro Disappeared

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open PBS Files" when trying to open your PBS. When this happens, it is commonly due to PaintShop Pro missing in %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your PBS file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.

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

Wrong Version of PaintShop Pro is Installed

In other instances, your PaintShop Pro Brush Strokes file version may not be supported by your version of PaintShop Pro. If you do not have the proper version PaintShop Pro (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. The primary cause of this problem is that your PaintShop Pro Brush Strokes file was created by a different (newer) version of PaintShop Pro than what's installed.

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

Conclusion: The majority of PBS file opening issues are due to not having the correct PaintShop Pro version installed.

Additional PBS Opening Issues

You can still experience errors opening PBS files even with the latest version of PaintShop Pro installed on your PC. If you are continuing to have errors with loading PBS files, other external issues might be to blame. Problems unrelated to software:

• Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for PBS
• The PBS file description within the Windows Registry was removed
• PaintShop Pro or another PBS application experienced a flawed installation
• Your PBS file is corrupted (issues with your PaintShop Pro Brush Strokes file itself)
• PBS file integrity has been compromised by malware
• Device drivers for PBS-related hardware are out-of-date
• Windows has inadequate resources to open your PaintShop Pro Brush Strokes file
