Understanding CVP Issues
Common CVP Opening Problems
WinFax is Not Installed
You attempt to load your CVP file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The CVP File Extension". Customarily, this means that WinFax is not installed on %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your CVP file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.
Tip: When another CVP application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.
Wrong Version of WinFax is Installed
Sometimes your installed version of WinFax won't support your WinFax Cover Page file. You will need to download a newer version of WinFax if you don't have the right version. Most of the time your WinFax Cover Page file was created by a newer WinFax than what you have installed.
Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your CVP file and clicking "Properties".
Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening CVP files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.
