Troubleshooting Problems Opening F06 Files
Issues Opening F06 Files
MS-DOS is Not Installed
When you double-click your F06 file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Customarily, this means that MS-DOS is not installed on %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your F06 because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.
Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your F06, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").
MS-DOS is Out-of-Date
Sometimes your installed version of MS-DOS won't support your MS-DOS Screen Text 6 Pixels Height Font file. You will need to download a newer version of MS-DOS if you don't have the right version. 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 F06 file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.
Regardless, most of the F06 file opening problems relate to not having the right version of MS-DOS installed.
Other F06 File Opening Causes
Assuming you have the right MS-DOS version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening F06 files. If you're still experiencing problems opening F06 files, there could be other computer problems. Other contributing causes:
- Windows Registry F06 file paths that are incorrect
- Accidental deletion of the description of the F06 file in the Windows registry
- Corrupt install of MS-DOS or other F06-related program
- The F06 itself is corrupted
- Malware-tainted F06 file can't be opened
- Device drivers for F06-related hardware are out-of-date
- Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the MS-DOS Screen Text 6 Pixels Height Font file
