How to open SWE file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SWE file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install NHL 08

In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file SWE.

Programs to open SWE file

Remember to download programs supporting SWE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of NHL 08 with SWE files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SWE file to open in the NHL 08 application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SWE file with the NHL 08 application.

Step 3. Update NHL 08 to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the NHL 08 program, it is possible that NHL Ice Hockey 2002 Required requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Electronic Arts, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SWE file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The SWE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to SWE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SWE file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected SWE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SWE file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SWE file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Electronic Arts, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SWE files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the SWE file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SWE file again. However, some background programs may block the SWE file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
