Sources of OGA Problems


Issues Opening OGA Files

VLC Media Player Isn't There

Double-clicking your OGA file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open OGA File". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because VLC Media Player isn't installed on your PC. You won't be able to double-click to open your OGA because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.


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


Incorrect VLC Media Player Version

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of VLC Media Player installed that's incompatible with your Ogg Vorbis Audio File type. Download the latest VLC Media Player version from the VideoLAN website to ensure you have the correct one installed. This problem is predominately due to having a Ogg Vorbis Audio File file version that was created by a newer version of VLC Media Player than what you have installed on your PC.


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


Summary: Not having the right VLC Media Player version on your computer can cause problems opening OGA files.


Other OGA File Opening Causes

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of VLC Media Player will resolve your issue. If you are continuing to have errors with loading OGA files, other external issues might be to blame. Additional factors include:

  • File references in the Windows Registry for OGA are wrong
  • Unintentional removal of the description of the OGA file inside the Windows Registry
  • Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the OGA format
  • Your OGA can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
  • Your OGA has adversely impacted by malware
  • Device drivers for OGA-related hardware are out-of-date
  • Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Ogg Vorbis Audio File format
