Troubleshooting Problems Opening RV2 Files
Troubles Opening RV2 Files
Unknown Software Not Present
You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open RV2 Files" when trying to open your RV2. When this happens, it is commonly due to Unknown Software missing in %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your RV2 file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.
Tip: If you know of another program that can open your RV2 file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.
Wrong Version of Unknown Software is Installed
Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Unknown Software installed that's incompatible with your Uncommon File Extension type. If you do not have the proper version Unknown Software (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. This problem is predominately due to having a Uncommon File Extension file version that was created by a newer version of Unknown Software than what you have installed on your PC.
Tip: If you right-click on your RV2 file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.
Regardless, most of the RV2 file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Unknown Software installed.
Other RV2 File Issues
Although you might already have Unknown Software or another RV2-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Uncommon File Extension files. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening RV2s. Problems unrelated to software:
- Invalid RV2 file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
- Mistaken removal of the Windows registry RV2 description
- Defective install of a RV2 program, such as Unknown Software
- Your RV2 file is corrupted (issues with your Uncommon File Extension file itself)
- Malware-tainted RV2 file can't be opened
- Drivers associated with RV2 software need to be updated
- Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Uncommon File Extension format
