DISPOSITION-NOTIFICATION Troubleshooting

Typical DISPOSITION-NOTIFICATION Opening Challenges

Microsoft Outlook Not Present

If you attempt to load your DISPOSITION-NOTIFICATION file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open DISPOSITION-NOTIFICATION Files". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Microsoft Outlook isn't installed on your PC. The OS won't know what to do with your DISPOSITION-NOTIFICATION file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.

Tip: When another DISPOSITION-NOTIFICATION application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.

Outdated Microsoft Outlook

Your Message Disposition Notification file is incompatible with Microsoft Outlook because you might have the wrong version installed. Download the latest Microsoft Outlook 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: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the DISPOSITION-NOTIFICATION file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.

Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening DISPOSITION-NOTIFICATION files are due to having the wrong version of Microsoft Outlook installed.
