CPS Troubleshooting

Common CPS Opening Problems

The Powder Toy Isn't There

You attempt to load your CPS file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The CPS File Extension". Customarily, this means that The Powder Toy is not installed on %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the CPS file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.

Tip: Another CPS-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.

Incorrect The Powder Toy Version

Your The Powder Toy Save File file is incompatible with The Powder Toy because you might have the wrong version installed. Visit the Interscape website to download (or purchase) the latest version of The Powder Toy. Most of the time your The Powder Toy Save File file was created by a newer The Powder Toy than what you have installed.

Tip: Investigate your CPS file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.

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