LSL Troubleshooting
Typical LSL Opening Challenges
Corel Paradox Isn't There
If you attempt to load your LSL file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open LSL Files". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Corel Paradox for %%os%% installed on your computer. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the LSL file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.
Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your LSL, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").
Corel Paradox Requires Update
In other instances, your Corel Paradox File file version may not be supported by your version of Corel Paradox. Visit the Corel website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Corel Paradox. The primary cause of this problem is that your Corel Paradox File file was created by a different (newer) version of Corel Paradox than what's installed.
Tip: Investigate your LSL file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.
Conclusion: The majority of LSL file opening issues are due to not having the correct Corel Paradox version installed.
Other Causes of LSL File Opening Problems
Errors opening Corel Paradox File files can still occur even with the latest Corel Paradox software installed on your computer. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening LSLs. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):
- File references in the Windows Registry for LSL are wrong
- The LSL file description within the Windows Registry was removed
- Partial installation of Corel Paradox that did not fully complete
- LSL file corruption
- LSL file integrity has been compromised by malware
- Device drivers of the hardware associated with your LSL file are corrupt or out-of-date
- Insufficient system resources to successfully open Corel Paradox File files
Quiz: Which operating system pioneered hierarchical file system (eg. file folders)?
That's Correct!
Multics was the first OS to support hierarchies of directories (eg. "Home" -> "Documents" -> "Work"). Nearly every modern operating system was heavily influenced by Multics.
