Understanding F12 Issues


Issues Opening F12 Files

MS-DOS Not Present

You attempt to load your F12 file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The F12 File Extension". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because MS-DOS isn't installed on your PC. The OS won't know what to do with your F12 file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: If you know of another program that can open your F12 file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.


MS-DOS is Out-of-Date

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a DOS Screen Text 12 Pixel Height Font File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. If you do not have the proper version MS-DOS (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. This problem is predominately due to having a DOS Screen Text 12 Pixel Height Font File file version that was created by a newer version of MS-DOS than what you have installed on your PC.


Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your F12 file and clicking "Properties".


Regardless, most of the F12 file opening problems relate to not having the right version of MS-DOS installed.


Additional F12 Opening Issues

Although you might already have MS-DOS or another F12-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening DOS Screen Text 12 Pixel Height Font File files. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening F12s. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):

  • Windows Registry F12 file paths that are incorrect
  • Accidental deletion of the description of the F12 file in the Windows registry
  • Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the F12 format
  • File corruption affecting your F12 file
  • F12 file integrity has been compromised by malware
  • Hardware related to F12s has device driver corruption
  • Insufficient system resources to successfully open DOS Screen Text 12 Pixel Height Font File files
