Common Problems Opening SGS Files

WinDS PRO Disappeared

When trying to open your SGS file, you get the error "Can't Open SGS File Type". When this happens, it is commonly due to WinDS PRO missing in %%os%%. The typical path of opening your SGS with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


Tip: If you don't have WinDS PRO installed, and you know of another program to open your SGS file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".


Incorrect WinDS PRO Version

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of WinDS PRO installed that's incompatible with your WinDS PRO Data type. Download the latest WinDS PRO version from the Open Source website to ensure you have the correct one installed. The primary cause of this problem is that your WinDS PRO Data file was created by a different (newer) version of WinDS PRO than what's installed.


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


Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening SGS files are due to having the wrong version of WinDS PRO installed.


Additional SGS Opening Issues

Even with the correct version of WinDS PRO installed, you can still experience difficulties opening SGSs. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening SGSs. Additional factors include:

  • Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for SGS
  • Deletion of the SGS file description from the Registry by mistake
  • WinDS PRO or another SGS application experienced a flawed installation
  • File corruption affecting your SGS file
  • SGS file integrity has been compromised by malware
  • Hardware associated with SGS has outdated drivers
  • Too many applications are open on your PC to load your WinDS PRO Data file successfully
