Understanding 3~6 Issues


Issues Opening 3~6 Files

Microsoft Windows Isn't There

When you double-click your 3~6 file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". 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. The typical path of opening your 3~6 with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


Tip: If you don't have Microsoft Windows installed, and you know of another program to open your 3~6 file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".


Outdated Microsoft Windows

It is possible that your version of Microsoft Windows isn't able to open your Windows 3.xx System File file due to incompatibility. You will need to download a newer version of Microsoft Windows if you don't have the right version. This problem is predominately due to having a Windows 3.xx System File file version that was created by a newer version of Microsoft Windows than what you have installed on your PC.


Tip: Investigate your 3~6 file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


Primarily, problems experienced when opening 3~6 files are due to having the incorrect version of Microsoft Windows installed on your computer.


Other 3~6 File Opening Causes

Errors opening Windows 3.xx System File files can still occur even with the latest Microsoft Windows software installed on your computer. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening 3~6 files. Additional factors include:
