Troubleshoot 000 Files

Typical 000 Opening Challenges

Microsoft Windows Not Present

You attempt to load your 000 file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The 000 File Extension". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Microsoft Windows for %%os%% installed on your computer. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the 000 file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.

Tip: When another 000 application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.

Outdated Microsoft Windows

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Microsoft Windows installed that's incompatible with your Indexing Service Data File type. If you've got the wrong version of Microsoft Windows installed, you'll need to install the correct version. Your Indexing Service Data File file was probably created by a newer release of Microsoft Windows than what's currently installed your computer.

Tip: Right-clicking on your 000, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.

Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening 000 files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.

More Causes of Problems Opening 000s

Assuming you have the right Microsoft Windows version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening 000 files. If you are continuing to have errors with loading 000 files, other external issues might be to blame. Problems unrelated to software:

• Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for 000
• The 000 file description within the Windows Registry was removed
• Corrupt install of Microsoft Windows or other 000-related program
• Your 000 file is corrupted (issues with your Indexing Service Data File file itself)
• Malware-tainted 000 file can't be opened
• Hardware related to 000s has device driver corruption
• Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the Indexing Service Data File file
