ADF File Complications

Frequent ADF Opening Issues

Missing Amiga Forever

If you attempt to load your ADF file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open ADF Files". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Amiga Forever isn't installed on your PC. 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: When another ADF application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.

Obsolete Version of Amiga Forever

Your Amiga Disk File file is incompatible with Amiga Forever because you might have the wrong version installed. Installing the latest version of Amiga Forever from Cloanto Corporation is recommended. This problem is predominately due to having a Amiga Disk File file version that was created by a newer version of Amiga Forever than what you have installed on your PC.

Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your ADF file and clicking "Properties".

Regardless, most of the ADF file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Amiga Forever installed.
