STF File Complications

Common Problems Opening STF Files

Microsoft Exchange Server Isn't There

You attempt to load your STF file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The STF File Extension". Customarily, this means that Microsoft Exchange Server is not installed on %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your STF because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.

Tip: If you don't have Microsoft Exchange Server installed, and you know of another program to open your STF file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".

Microsoft Exchange Server Requires Update

It is possible that your version of Microsoft Exchange Server isn't able to open your Exchange 2000 Server Temporary File file due to incompatibility. Visit the Microsoft Corporation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Microsoft Exchange Server. This issue mainly occurs when your Exchange 2000 Server Temporary File file was created by a newer version of Microsoft Exchange Server than you have on your PC.

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

Summary: Not having the right Microsoft Exchange Server version on your computer can cause problems opening STF files.
