Sources of KTX Problems
Common KTX Opening Problems
Kwalitan Isn't There
You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open KTX Files" when trying to open your KTX. If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Kwalitan for %%os%% installed on your computer. Your operating system cannot associate your KTX with Kwalitan, so double-clicking the file won't work.
Tip: Another KTX-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.
Outdated Kwalitan
In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Kwalitan Data File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Visit the Open Source website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Kwalitan. This issue mainly occurs when your Kwalitan Data File file was created by a newer version of Kwalitan than you have on your PC.
Tip: Investigate your KTX file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.
Conclusion: The majority of KTX file opening issues are due to not having the correct Kwalitan version installed.
Other Causes of KTX File Opening Problems
You can still experience errors opening KTX files even with the latest version of Kwalitan installed on your PC. If you're still experiencing problems opening KTX files, there could be other computer problems. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):
- KTX file type Registry entries are wrong
- Accidental deletion of the description of the KTX file in the Windows registry
- Invalid installation of a KTX-associated program (eg. Kwalitan)
- Your KTX can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
- Malware-tainted KTX file can't be opened
- KTX-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
