IEE-695 Troubleshooting
Typical IEE-695 Opening Challenges
Unknown Software is Not Installed
You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open IEE-695 Files" when trying to open your IEE-695. Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Unknown Software isn't installed on your PC. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the IEE-695 file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.
Tip: If you know of another program that can open your IEE-695 file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.
Obsolete Version of Unknown Software
Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Unknown Software installed that's incompatible with your IEEE 695 Information PostScript File type. If you've got the wrong version of Unknown Software installed, you'll need to install the correct version. The primary cause of this problem is that your IEEE 695 Information PostScript File file was created by a different (newer) version of Unknown Software than what's installed.
Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of IEE-695 file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).
Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening IEE-695 files are due to having the wrong version of Unknown Software installed.
Other IEE-695 File Issues
Although you might already have Unknown Software or another IEE-695-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening IEEE 695 Information PostScript File files. If you are still having problems opening IEE-695 files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):
- Invalid IEE-695 file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
- Accidental deletion of the description of the IEE-695 file in the Windows registry
- Invalid installation of a IEE-695-associated program (eg. Unknown Software)
- Something has caused file corruption of your IEE-695
- Past or present virus infection has affected your IEE-695
- Drivers associated with IEE-695 software need to be updated
- Insufficient system resources to successfully open IEEE 695 Information PostScript File files
