Understanding VAB Issues
Common VAB Opening Problems
Missing Awave Studio
If you attempt to load your VAB file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open VAB Files". Usually, this is because you do not have Awave Studio for %%os%% installed. The OS won't know what to do with your VAB file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.
Tip: If you know of another program that can open your VAB file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.
Wrong Version of Awave Studio is Installed
In other instances, your Sony Playstation/PS2 Audio Bank file version may not be supported by your version of Awave Studio. If you've got the wrong version of Awave Studio installed, you'll need to install the correct version. Most of the time your Sony Playstation/PS2 Audio Bank file was created by a newer Awave Studio than what you have installed.
Tip: Right-clicking on your VAB, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.
Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening VAB files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.
Associated Difficulties Loading VAB Files
You can still experience errors opening VAB files even with the latest version of Awave Studio installed on your PC. If you're still experiencing problems opening VAB files, there could be other computer problems. Problems unrelated to software:
- Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for VAB
- Accidental deletion of the description of the VAB file in the Windows registry
- Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the VAB format
- VAB file corruption
- Your VAB is infected with malware
- Hardware associated with VAB has outdated drivers
- Windows has inadequate resources to open your Sony Playstation/PS2 Audio Bank file
