Understanding 001 Issues


Common 001 Opening Problems

Missing Smith Micro StuffIt Deluxe

Double-clicking your 001 file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open 001 File". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Smith Micro StuffIt Deluxe for %%os%% installed on your computer. 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 001 files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.


Incorrect Smith Micro StuffIt Deluxe Version

Your Split Archive File file is incompatible with Smith Micro StuffIt Deluxe because you might have the wrong version installed. Installing the latest version of Smith Micro StuffIt Deluxe from Smith Micro Software is recommended. This problem is predominately due to having a Split Archive File file version that was created by a newer version of Smith Micro StuffIt Deluxe than what you have installed on your PC.


Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the 001 file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.


Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening 001 files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.
