Troubleshoot PYA Files


Typical PYA Opening Challenges

Microsoft Windows Media Player Not Present

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open PYA Files" when trying to open your PYA. When this happens, it is commonly due to Microsoft Windows Media Player missing in %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your PYA because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.


Tip: If you have another software that you know opens PYA files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.


Wrong Version of Microsoft Windows Media Player is Installed

Your Microsoft PlayReady DRM Audio File file is incompatible with Microsoft Windows Media Player because you might have the wrong version installed. If you've got the wrong version of Microsoft Windows Media Player installed, you'll need to install the correct version. Most of the time your Microsoft PlayReady DRM Audio File file was created by a newer Microsoft Windows Media Player than what you have installed.


Tip: Right-clicking on your PYA, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.


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


More Causes of Problems Opening PYAs

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Microsoft Windows Media Player will resolve your issue. If you are continuing to have errors with loading PYA files, other external issues might be to blame. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):

  • Windows Registry PYA file paths that are incorrect
  • The PYA file description within the Windows Registry was removed
  • Partial installation of Microsoft Windows Media Player that did not fully complete
  • File corruption affecting your PYA file
  • The PYA is infected with a virus
