SEV File Complications

Issues Opening SEV Files

ZX-Paintbrush Disappeared

You attempt to load your SEV file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The SEV File Extension". Customarily, this means that ZX-Paintbrush is not installed on %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your SEV with ZX-Paintbrush, so double-clicking the file won't work.

Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your SEV, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").

ZX-Paintbrush Requires Update

Your SevenUp Picture file is incompatible with ZX-Paintbrush because you might have the wrong version installed. If you've got the wrong version of ZX-Paintbrush installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This issue mainly occurs when your SevenUp Picture file was created by a newer version of ZX-Paintbrush than you have on your PC.

Tip: If you right-click on your SEV file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.

Conclusion: The majority of SEV file opening issues are due to not having the correct ZX-Paintbrush version installed.

Other SEV File Opening Causes

Even with the correct version of ZX-Paintbrush installed, you can still experience difficulties opening SEVs. Other SEV opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Issues that aren't software-related:

• File references in the Windows Registry for SEV are wrong
• Unintentional removal of the description of the SEV file inside the Windows Registry
• Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the SEV format
• SEV file corruption
• The SEV is infected with a virus
• Device drivers for SEV-related hardware are out-of-date
• Insufficient system resources to successfully open SevenUp Picture files
