Troubleshoot EDX Files
Common Problems Opening EDX Files
Edraw Max Removed
When you double-click your EDX file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Usually, this is because you do not have Edraw Max for %%os%% installed. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the EDX file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.
Tip: If you don't have Edraw Max installed, and you know of another program to open your EDX file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".
Obsolete Version of Edraw Max
Sometimes your installed version of Edraw Max won't support your Edraw XML FIle file. Visit the EdrawSoft website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Edraw Max. This issue mainly occurs when your Edraw XML FIle file was created by a newer version of Edraw Max than you have on your PC.
Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the EDX file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.
Summary: Not having the right Edraw Max version on your computer can cause problems opening EDX files.
Other EDX File Issues
In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Edraw Max will resolve your issue. Other EDX opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Additional factors include:
- Invalid EDX file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
- Accidental deletion of the description of the EDX file in the Windows registry
- Defective install of a EDX program, such as Edraw Max
- Something has caused file corruption of your EDX
- Malware-tainted EDX file can't be opened
- Device drivers for EDX-related hardware are out-of-date
- Too many applications are open on your PC to load your Edraw XML FIle file successfully
