Understanding C11 Issues
Common Problems Opening C11 Files
CARE-S Isn't There
If you attempt to load your C11 file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open C11 Files". If so, it typically means that you don't have CARE-S installed for %%os%%. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.
Tip: If you don't have CARE-S installed, and you know of another program to open your C11 file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".
Outdated CARE-S
It is possible that your version of CARE-S isn't able to open your CARE-S InfoWorks User-Defined Pollutant Detail Data file due to incompatibility. If you've got the wrong version of CARE-S installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.
Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the C11 file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.
Regardless, most of the C11 file opening problems relate to not having the right version of CARE-S installed.
Other C11 File Opening Causes
Even with the correct version of CARE-S installed, you can still experience difficulties opening C11s. If you're still experiencing problems opening C11 files, there could be other computer problems. Other contributing causes:
- C11 file type Registry entries are wrong
- Mistaken removal of the Windows registry C11 description
- Defective install of a C11 program, such as CARE-S
- C11 file corruption
- Malware-tainted C11 file can't be opened
- Hardware associated with C11 has outdated drivers
- Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the CARE-S InfoWorks User-Defined Pollutant Detail Data format
