Troubleshooting Problems Opening NIV Files
Frequent NIV Opening Issues
Missing theWord
Double-clicking your NIV file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open NIV File". Customarily, this means that theWord is not installed on %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your NIV because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.
Tip: If you know of another program that can open your NIV file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.
Incorrect theWord Version
Your TheWord New International Version Module file is incompatible with theWord because you might have the wrong version installed. Installing the latest version of theWord from Costas stergiou is recommended. This issue mainly occurs when your TheWord New International Version Module file was created by a newer version of theWord than you have on your PC.
Tip: Right-clicking on your NIV, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.
Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening NIV files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.
Associated Difficulties Loading NIV Files
Assuming you have the right theWord version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening NIV files. Other NIV opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Other contributing causes:
- Windows Registry NIV file paths that are incorrect
- Unintentional removal of the description of the NIV file inside the Windows Registry
- Corrupt install of theWord or other NIV-related program
- File corruption affecting your NIV file
- Your NIV has adversely impacted by malware
- Drivers associated with NIV software need to be updated
- Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the TheWord New International Version Module file
