Understanding CRD Issues


Common CRD Opening Problems

Missing Notepad++

You attempt to load your CRD file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The CRD File Extension". Customarily, this means that Notepad++ is not installed on %%os%%. The typical path of opening your CRD with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


Tip: If you know of another program that can open your CRD file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.


Outdated Notepad++

Your Guitar Tabs file is incompatible with Notepad++ because you might have the wrong version installed. You will need to download a newer version of Notepad++ if you don't have the right version. Most of the time your Guitar Tabs file was created by a newer Notepad++ than what you have installed.


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


Summary: Not having the right Notepad++ version on your computer can cause problems opening CRD files.


Other Causes of CRD File Opening Problems

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Notepad++ will resolve your issue. If you are continuing to have errors with loading CRD files, other external issues might be to blame. Issues that aren't software-related:

  • Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for CRD
  • Corruption of the CRD file description inside the Registry
  • Partial installation of Notepad++ that did not fully complete
  • The CRD itself is corrupted
  • Past or present virus infection has affected your CRD
  • Hardware related to CRDs has device driver corruption
  • Too many applications are open on your PC to load your Guitar Tabs file successfully
