What are Windblown.swf Error Messages?


General Windblown.swf Runtime Errors

Windblown.swf file errors often occur during the startup phase of Adobe Captivate, but can also occur while the program is running.

Most SWF errors are due to missing or corrupt files.

Download Windblown.swf Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying Windblown.swf to your appropriate Windows system directory. Adobe Systems Incorporated typically does not release Adobe Captivate SWF files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing Windblown.swf and all other SWF files for Adobe Captivate. An incorrectly installed SWF file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
