Troubleshoot ADI Files


Issues Opening ADI Files

Active@ Disk Image Isn't There

You attempt to load your ADI file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The ADI File Extension". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Active@ Disk Image isn't installed on your PC. You won't be able to double-click to open your ADI because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.


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


Incorrect Active@ Disk Image Version

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Active@ Disk Image installed that's incompatible with your Active@ Disk Image Backup File type. Download the latest Active@ Disk Image version from the LSoft Technologies Inc. website to ensure you have the correct one installed. 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 ADI file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


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


Associated Difficulties Loading ADI Files

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Active@ Disk Image will resolve your issue. If you are continuing to have errors with loading ADI files, other external issues might be to blame. Other contributing causes:

  • ADI file type Registry entries are wrong
  • Unintentional removal of the description of the ADI file inside the Windows Registry
  • Partial installation of Active@ Disk Image that did not fully complete
  • Something has caused file corruption of your ADI
  • ADI file integrity has been compromised by malware
  • Hardware related to ADIs has device driver corruption
  • Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the Active@ Disk Image Backup File file
