Sources of LSX Problems

Common LSX Opening Problems

Missing Microsoft Windows Media Player

You attempt to load your LSX file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The LSX File Extension". Customarily, this means that Microsoft Windows Media Player is not installed on %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your LSX with Microsoft Windows Media Player, so double-clicking the file won't work.

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

Incorrect Microsoft Windows Media Player Version

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Streaming Media Shortcut file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Download the latest Microsoft Windows Media Player version from the Microsoft Corporation website to ensure you have the correct one installed. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.

Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your LSX file and clicking "Properties".

Summary: Not having the right Microsoft Windows Media Player version on your computer can cause problems opening LSX files.

Associated Difficulties Loading LSX Files

Although you might already have Microsoft Windows Media Player or another LSX-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Streaming Media Shortcut files. If you are continuing to have errors with loading LSX files, other external issues might be to blame. Problems unrelated to software:

• LSX file references in the Windows Registry are broken
• Unintentional removal of the description of the LSX file inside the Windows Registry
• Corrupt install of Microsoft Windows Media Player or other LSX-related program
• Your LSX file is corrupted (issues with your Streaming Media Shortcut file itself)
• Your LSX has adversely impacted by malware
• Drivers associated with LSX software need to be updated
• Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Streaming Media Shortcut format
