WDGT Troubleshooting


Typical WDGT Opening Challenges

Opera Isn't There

If you attempt to load your WDGT file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open WDGT Files". Usually, this is because you do not have Opera for %%os%% installed. You won't be able to double-click to open your WDGT because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.


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


Outdated Opera

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Opera installed that's incompatible with your Opera Widget File type. Visit the Opera Software website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Opera. The primary cause of this problem is that your Opera Widget File file was created by a different (newer) version of Opera than what's installed.


Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of WDGT file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).


Regardless, most of the WDGT file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Opera installed.


Associated Difficulties Loading WDGT Files

Even with the correct version of Opera installed, you can still experience difficulties opening WDGTs. If you're still experiencing problems opening WDGT files, there could be other computer problems. Additional factors include:

  • WDGT file references in the Windows Registry are broken
  • Deletion of the WDGT file description from the Registry by mistake
  • Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the WDGT format
  • WDGT file corruption
  • The WDGT is infected with a virus
  • WDGT-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
  • Too many applications are open on your PC to load your Opera Widget File file successfully
