Troubleshoot WPB Files

Common Problems Opening WPB Files

openCanvas Disappeared

When you double-click your WPB file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". When this happens, it is commonly due to openCanvas missing in %%os%%. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.

Tip: If you have another software that you know opens WPB files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.

openCanvas is Out-of-Date

Your OpenCanvas 1.1 Image file is incompatible with openCanvas because you might have the wrong version installed. You will need to download a newer version of openCanvas if you don't have the right version. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.

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

Conclusion: The majority of WPB file opening issues are due to not having the correct openCanvas version installed.

• openCanvas or another WPB application experienced a flawed installation
• Your WPB can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
• Malware-tainted WPB file can't be opened
• Hardware associated with WPB has outdated drivers
