TEXT Troubleshooting

Frequent TEXT Opening Issues

Microsoft Notepad Not Present

Double-clicking your TEXT file prompts the message "- Can't Open TEXT File". Usually, this is because you do not have Microsoft Notepad for - installed. Your operating system cannot associate your TEXT with Microsoft Notepad, so double-clicking the file won't work.

Tip: When another TEXT application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.

Obsolete Version of Microsoft Notepad

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Plain Text File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Installing the latest version of Microsoft Notepad from Microsoft Corporation is recommended. This issue mainly occurs when your Plain Text File file was created by a newer version of Microsoft Notepad than you have on your PC.

Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of TEXT file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).

Regardless, most of the TEXT file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Microsoft Notepad installed.

Associated Difficulties Loading TEXT Files

Although you might already have Microsoft Notepad or another TEXT-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Plain Text File files. If you are continuing to have errors with loading TEXT files, other external issues might be to blame. Other contributing causes:

• Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for TEXT
• Accidental deletion of the description of the TEXT file in the Windows registry
• Microsoft Notepad or another TEXT application experienced a flawed installation
• Something has caused file corruption of your TEXT
• Your TEXT is infected with malware
• Hardware related to TEXTs has device driver corruption
• Too many applications are open on your PC to load your Plain Text File file successfully
