Troubleshooting Problems Opening 2GR Files

Common 2GR Opening Problems

Microsoft Windows Isn't There

When you double-click your 2GR file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Customarily, this means that Microsoft Windows is not installed on %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your 2GR because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.

Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your 2GR, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").

Incorrect Microsoft Windows Version

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Windows VGA Graphic Drivers file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Installing the latest version of Microsoft Windows from Microsoft Corporation is recommended. Most of the time your Windows VGA Graphic Drivers file was created by a newer Microsoft Windows than what you have installed.

Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of 2GR 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 2GR files are due to having the wrong version of Microsoft Windows installed.

Other 2GR File Opening Causes

Assuming you have the right Microsoft Windows version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening 2GR files. If you're still experiencing problems opening 2GR files, there could be other computer problems. Issues that aren't software-related:
