Troubleshoot WML Files

Typical WML Opening Challenges

Internet Explorer Isn't There

If you attempt to load your WML file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open WML Files". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Internet Explorer for %%os%% installed on your computer. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the WML file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.

Tip: If you don't have Internet Explorer installed, and you know of another program to open your WML file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".

Obsolete Version of Internet Explorer

Your Wireless Markup Language File file is incompatible with Internet Explorer because you might have the wrong version installed. If you've got the wrong version of Internet Explorer installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This issue mainly occurs when your Wireless Markup Language File file was created by a newer version of Internet Explorer than you have on your PC.

Tip: If you right-click on your WML file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.

Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening WML files are due to having the wrong version of Internet Explorer installed.

Other WML File Opening Causes

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Internet Explorer will resolve your issue. If you're still experiencing problems opening WML files, there could be other computer problems. These issues include:

• Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for WML
• The WML file description within the Windows Registry was removed
• Partial installation of Internet Explorer that did not fully complete
• WML file corruption
• Your WML is infected with malware
• Device drivers for WML-related hardware are out-of-date
• Windows has inadequate resources to open your Wireless Markup Language File file
