Understanding DOO Issues
Issues Opening DOO Files
Unknown Software Removed
If you attempt to load your DOO file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open DOO Files". Usually, this is because you do not have Unknown Software for %%os%% installed. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the DOO file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.
Tip: If you have another software that you know opens DOO files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.
Unknown Software Requires Update
In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Atari Doodle Image file that is unsupported by your installed application version. You will need to download a newer version of Unknown Software if you don't have the right version. This problem is predominately due to having a Atari Doodle Image file version that was created by a newer version of Unknown Software than what you have installed on your PC.
Tip: Right-clicking on your DOO, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.
Regardless, most of the DOO file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Unknown Software installed.
Other Causes of DOO File Opening Problems
Assuming you have the right Unknown Software version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening DOO files. If you are still having problems opening DOO files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. Other contributing causes:
- File references in the Windows Registry for DOO are wrong
- Mistaken removal of the Windows registry DOO description
- Unknown Software or another DOO application experienced a flawed installation
- File corruption affecting your DOO file
- Malware-tainted DOO file can't be opened
- DOO-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
- Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Atari Doodle Image format
