Troubles Opening IGN Files

Missing Adobe RoboHelp

If you attempt to load your IGN file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open IGN Files". When this happens, it is commonly due to Adobe RoboHelp missing in %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your IGN with Adobe RoboHelp, so double-clicking the file won't work.

Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your IGN, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").

Adobe RoboHelp is Out-of-Date

It is possible that your version of Adobe RoboHelp isn't able to open your RoboHelp Ignore List File file due to incompatibility.
