Understanding 95 Issues
Common Problems Opening 95 Files
Pro/ENGINEER is Not Installed
When you double-click your 95 file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Customarily, this means that Pro/ENGINEER is not installed on %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your 95 file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.
Tip: If you know of another program that can open your 95 file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.
Wrong Version of Pro/ENGINEER is Installed
In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Creo Elements/Pro Versioned Data file that is unsupported by your installed application version. If you've got the wrong version of Pro/ENGINEER 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: If you right-click on your 95 file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.
Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening 95 files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.
Other 95 File Issues
In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Pro/ENGINEER will resolve your issue. If you are continuing to have errors with loading 95 files, other external issues might be to blame. Problems unrelated to software:
- 95 file references in the Windows Registry are broken
- Deletion of the 95 file description from the Registry by mistake
- Invalid installation of a 95-associated program (eg. Pro/ENGINEER)
- Something has caused file corruption of your 95
- The 95 is infected with a virus
- Hardware associated with 95 has outdated drivers
- Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the Creo Elements/Pro Versioned Data file
