CAG Troubleshooting


Frequent CAG Opening Issues

Microsoft PowerPoint is Not Installed

Double-clicking your CAG file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open CAG File". If so, it typically means that you don't have Microsoft PowerPoint installed for %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your CAG with Microsoft PowerPoint, so double-clicking the file won't work.


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


Microsoft PowerPoint is Out-of-Date

Your ClipArt Gallery Package file is incompatible with Microsoft PowerPoint because you might have the wrong version installed. Download the latest Microsoft PowerPoint version from the Microsoft Corporation 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: Right-clicking on your CAG, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.


Conclusion: The majority of CAG file opening issues are due to not having the correct Microsoft PowerPoint version installed.


Additional CAG Opening Issues

Even with the correct version of Microsoft PowerPoint installed, you can still experience difficulties opening CAGs. If you're still experiencing problems opening CAG files, there could be other computer problems. Issues that aren't software-related:

  • File references in the Windows Registry for CAG are wrong
  • Mistaken removal of the Windows registry CAG description
  • Microsoft PowerPoint or another CAG application experienced a flawed installation
  • Something has caused file corruption of your CAG
  • Past or present virus infection has affected your CAG
  • Drivers associated with CAG software need to be updated
  • Too many applications are open on your PC to load your ClipArt Gallery Package file successfully
