SR0 File Complications
Common SR0 Opening Problems
SecuRom Disappeared
When trying to open your SR0 file, you get the error "Can't Open SR0 File Type". Usually, this is because you do not have SecuRom for %%os%% installed. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the SR0 file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.
Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your SR0, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").
Wrong Version of SecuRom is Installed
In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a SecuROM Analysis File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Visit the Sony website to download (or purchase) the latest version of SecuRom. Your SecuROM Analysis File file was probably created by a newer release of SecuRom than what's currently installed your computer.
Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the SR0 file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.
Summary: Not having the right SecuRom version on your computer can cause problems opening SR0 files.
Other SR0 File Opening Causes
Even with the correct version of SecuRom installed, you can still experience difficulties opening SR0s. If you are still having problems opening SR0 files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. Problems unrelated to software:
- SR0 file references in the Windows Registry are broken
- Unintentional removal of the description of the SR0 file inside the Windows Registry
- Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the SR0 format
- Something has caused file corruption of your SR0
- Past or present virus infection has affected your SR0
- Device drivers of the hardware associated with your SR0 file are corrupt or out-of-date
- Windows cannot load your SecuROM Analysis File file due to insufficient resources (eg. RAM)
