VVS File Complications
Typical VVS Opening Challenges
Driver 3 Isn't There
When you double-click your VVS 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 Driver 3 for %%os%% installed on your computer. You won't be able to double-click to open your VVS because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.
Tip: If you don't have Driver 3 installed, and you know of another program to open your VVS file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".
Wrong Version of Driver 3 is Installed
In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Driver 3 Game Data file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Visit the Atari Corporation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Driver 3. This issue mainly occurs when your Driver 3 Game Data file was created by a newer version of Driver 3 than you have on your PC.
Tip: Investigate your VVS file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.
Conclusion: The majority of VVS file opening issues are due to not having the correct Driver 3 version installed.
Additional VVS Opening Issues
Assuming you have the right Driver 3 version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening VVS files. If you're still experiencing problems opening VVS files, there could be other computer problems. Issues that aren't software-related:
- VVS file references in the Windows Registry are broken
- Corruption of the VVS file description inside the Registry
- Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the VVS format
- File corruption affecting your VVS file
- The VVS is infected with a virus
- Device drivers for VVS-related hardware are out-of-date
- Insufficient system resources to successfully open Driver 3 Game Data files
Quiz: Which of these is considered a vector image file?
That's Correct!
The unique thing about vector files such as AI and EPS is that graphic details (eg. sizes and shapes of objects) and text remains editable. This allows you can save and re-open them in Illustrator and edit text or other elements within the graphic.
