Troubleshooting Problems Opening BK2 Files
Frequent BK2 Opening Issues
Microsoft Windows Isn't There
When trying to open your BK2 file, you get the error "Can't Open BK2 File Type". When this happens, it is commonly due to Microsoft Windows missing in %%os%%. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.
Tip: If you know of another program that can open your BK2 file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.
Obsolete Version of Microsoft Windows
Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Microsoft Windows installed that's incompatible with your Windows Indexing Service File type. Visit the Microsoft Corporation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Microsoft Windows. 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: If you right-click on your BK2 file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.
Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening BK2 files are due to having the wrong version of Microsoft Windows installed.
