Sources of VCG Problems


Common Problems Opening VCG Files

Microsoft Office is Not Installed

You attempt to load your VCG file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The VCG File Extension". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Microsoft Office isn't installed on your PC. The OS won't know what to do with your VCG file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: If you have another software that you know opens VCG files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.


Outdated Microsoft Office

In other instances, your SharePoint WorkSpace vCard Contact file version may not be supported by your version of Microsoft Office. If you've got the wrong version of Microsoft Office 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: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of VCG 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 VCG files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.
