Troubleshoot PT3 Files


Typical PT3 Opening Challenges

Harvard Graphics ChartXL Isn't There

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open PT3 Files" when trying to open your PT3. Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Harvard Graphics ChartXL isn't installed on your PC. 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 know of another program that can open your PT3 file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.


Incorrect Harvard Graphics ChartXL Version

In other instances, your Harvard Device Driver File file version may not be supported by your version of Harvard Graphics ChartXL. If you do not have the proper version Harvard Graphics ChartXL (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. Your Harvard Device Driver File file was probably created by a newer release of Harvard Graphics ChartXL than what's currently installed your computer.


Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your PT3 file and clicking "Properties".


Conclusion: The majority of PT3 file opening issues are due to not having the correct Harvard Graphics ChartXL version installed.
