Troubleshoot VC_ Files
Typical VC_ Opening Challenges
Missing Unknown Software
If you attempt to load your VC_ file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open VC_ Files". Usually, this is because you do not have Unknown Software for %%os%% installed. You won't be able to double-click to open your VC_ because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.
Tip: If you know of another program that can open your VC_ file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.
Unknown Software is Out-of-Date
Sometimes your installed version of Unknown Software won't support your Unknown File Type file. Installing the latest version of Unknown Software from Unknown Developer is recommended. This problem is predominately due to having a Unknown File Type file version that was created by a newer version of Unknown Software than what you have installed on your PC.
Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your VC_ file and clicking "Properties".
Conclusion: The majority of VC_ file opening issues are due to not having the correct Unknown Software version installed.
Other VC_ File Issues
Although you might already have Unknown Software or another VC_-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Unknown File Type files. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening VC_ files. These issues include:
- File references in the Windows Registry for VC_ are wrong
- The VC_ file description within the Windows Registry was removed
- Partial installation of Unknown Software that did not fully complete
- VC_ file corruption
- The VC_ is infected with a virus
- Device drivers of the hardware associated with your VC_ file are corrupt or out-of-date
- Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Unknown File Type format
