Troubleshoot 32S Files


Common 32S Opening Problems

Microsoft Windows 3.x Removed

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open 32S Files" when trying to open your 32S. Usually, this is because you do not have Microsoft Windows 3.x for %%os%% installed. The OS won't know what to do with your 32S file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: If you have another software that you know opens 32S files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.


Incorrect Microsoft Windows 3.x Version

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Microsoft Windows 3.x installed that's incompatible with your Win32s Data type. Visit the Microsoft Corporation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Microsoft Windows 3.x. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.


Tip: Investigate your 32S file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


Primarily, problems experienced when opening 32S files are due to having the incorrect version of Microsoft Windows 3.x installed on your computer.


Other Causes of 32S File Opening Problems

Errors opening Win32s Data files can still occur even with the latest Microsoft Windows 3.x software installed on your computer. If you're still experiencing problems opening 32S files, there could be other computer problems. Other contributing causes:

  • 32S file references in the Windows Registry are broken
  • Deletion of the 32S file description from the Registry by mistake
  • Microsoft Windows 3.x or another 32S application experienced a flawed installation
  • The 32S itself is corrupted
  • Your 32S has adversely impacted by malware
  • Hardware related to 32Ss has device driver corruption
  • Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the Win32s Data file
