Troubleshooting Problems Opening MGP Files


Common MGP Opening Problems

Adobe Captivate Removed

When trying to open your MGP file, you get the error "Can't Open MGP File Type". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Adobe Captivate isn't installed on your PC. The typical path of opening your MGP with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


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


Adobe Captivate is Out-of-Date

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Adobe Captivate MenuBuilder Data file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Download the latest Adobe Captivate version from the Adobe Systems Incorporated website to ensure you have the correct one installed. The primary cause of this problem is that your Adobe Captivate MenuBuilder Data file was created by a different (newer) version of Adobe Captivate than what's installed.


Tip: If you right-click on your MGP file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.


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


Additional MGP Opening Issues

You can still experience errors opening MGP files even with the latest version of Adobe Captivate installed on your PC. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening MGP files. These issues include:

  • MGP file type Registry entries are wrong
  • The MGP file description within the Windows Registry was removed
  • Invalid installation of a MGP-associated program (eg. Adobe Captivate)
  • MGP file corruption
  • Past or present virus infection has affected your MGP
  • Device drivers for MGP-related hardware are out-of-date
  • Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Adobe Captivate MenuBuilder Data format
