IRP Troubleshooting
Troubles Opening IRP Files
Internet Researcher Isn't There
Double-clicking your IRP file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open IRP File". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Internet Researcher 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: If you have another software that you know opens IRP files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.
Outdated Internet Researcher
In other instances, your Internet Researcher Project File file version may not be supported by your version of Internet Researcher. Visit the Zylox Software, Inc. website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Internet Researcher. This issue mainly occurs when your Internet Researcher Project File file was created by a newer version of Internet Researcher than you have on your PC.
Tip: Right-clicking on your IRP, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.
Regardless, most of the IRP file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Internet Researcher installed.
Associated Difficulties Loading IRP Files
Assuming you have the right Internet Researcher version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening IRP files. Other IRP opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Other contributing causes:
- Windows Registry IRP file paths that are incorrect
- Unintentional removal of the description of the IRP file inside the Windows Registry
- Partial installation of Internet Researcher that did not fully complete
- Your IRP file is corrupted (issues with your Internet Researcher Project File file itself)
- Your IRP has adversely impacted by malware
- Hardware associated with IRP has outdated drivers
- Too many applications are open on your PC to load your Internet Researcher Project File file successfully
