Troubles Opening EMO Files

Missing ICQ

When trying to open your EMO file, you get the error "Can't Open EMO File Type". Customarily, this means that ICQ is not installed on %%os%%. The typical path of opening your EMO with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


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


Outdated ICQ

Sometimes your installed version of ICQ won't support your Emoticon Data file. If you do not have the proper version ICQ (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. The primary cause of this problem is that your Emoticon Data file was created by a different (newer) version of ICQ than what's installed.


Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of EMO file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).


Primarily, problems experienced when opening EMO files are due to having the incorrect version of ICQ installed on your computer.


Other Causes of EMO File Opening Problems

Assuming you have the right ICQ version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening EMO files. If you're still experiencing problems opening EMO files, there could be other computer problems. Problems unrelated to software:

  • EMO file type Registry entries are wrong
  • The EMO file description within the Windows Registry was removed
  • Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the EMO format
  • EMO file corruption
  • Your EMO is infected with malware
  • Drivers associated with EMO software need to be updated
  • Windows has inadequate resources to open your Emoticon Data file
