You attempt to load your SIV file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The SIV File Extension". When this happens, it is commonly due to Adobe SpeedGrade missing in %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your SIV file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.

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

Wrong Version of Adobe SpeedGrade is Installed

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

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