SGN File Complications


Common SGN Opening Problems

SGN Viewer Removed

You attempt to load your SGN file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The SGN File Extension". When this happens, it is commonly due to SGN Viewer missing in %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your SGN because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.


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


SGN Viewer Requires Update

Sometimes your installed version of SGN Viewer won't support your Signet Bureau DRM File file. You will need to download a newer version of SGN Viewer if you don't have the right version. Your Signet Bureau DRM File file was probably created by a newer release of SGN Viewer than what's currently installed your computer.


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


Primarily, problems experienced when opening SGN files are due to having the incorrect version of SGN Viewer installed on your computer.


Associated Difficulties Loading SGN Files

Errors opening Signet Bureau DRM File files can still occur even with the latest SGN Viewer software installed on your computer. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening SGN files. These issues include:

  • File references in the Windows Registry for SGN are wrong
  • Deletion of the SGN file description from the Registry by mistake
  • SGN Viewer or another SGN application experienced a flawed installation
  • Your SGN file is corrupted (issues with your Signet Bureau DRM File file itself)
  • SGN file integrity has been compromised by malware
  • Device drivers for SGN-related hardware are out-of-date
  • Windows cannot load your Signet Bureau DRM File file due to insufficient resources (eg. RAM)
