Troubleshooting Problems Opening OA3 Files


Common Problems Opening OA3 Files

OASYS 100 is Not Installed

When you double-click your OA3 file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have OASYS 100 for %%os%% installed on your computer. 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 know of another program that can open your OA3 file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.


Wrong Version of OASYS 100 is Installed

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Oasys 3 file that is unsupported by your installed application version. If you do not have the proper version OASYS 100 (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. 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: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of OA3 file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).


Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening OA3 files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.


Other Causes of OA3 File Opening Problems

Although you might already have OASYS 100 or another OA3-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Oasys 3 files. If you are still having problems opening OA3 files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):

  • Invalid OA3 file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
  • Accidental deletion of the description of the OA3 file in the Windows registry
  • Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the OA3 format
  • Your OA3 file is corrupted (issues with your Oasys 3 file itself)
  • Your OA3 is infected with malware
  • Device drivers of the hardware associated with your OA3 file are corrupt or out-of-date
  • Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Oasys 3 format
