Troubleshoot FFD Files


Issues Opening FFD Files

Microsoft Notepad Not Present

You attempt to load your FFD file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The FFD File Extension". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Microsoft Notepad isn't installed on your PC. The typical path of opening your FFD with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


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


Obsolete Version of Microsoft Notepad

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a SharePoint FFDDumper Log file that is unsupported by your installed application version. You will need to download a newer version of Microsoft Notepad 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: Investigate your FFD file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening FFD files are due to having the wrong version of Microsoft Notepad installed.


More Causes of Problems Opening FFDs

Errors opening SharePoint FFDDumper Log files can still occur even with the latest Microsoft Notepad software installed on your computer. If you are continuing to have errors with loading FFD files, other external issues might be to blame. Problems unrelated to software:

  • FFD file references in the Windows Registry are broken
  • Accidental deletion of the description of the FFD file in the Windows registry
  • Microsoft Notepad or another FFD application experienced a flawed installation
  • Your FFD file is corrupted (issues with your SharePoint FFDDumper Log file itself)
  • Past or present virus infection has affected your FFD
  • Device drivers for FFD-related hardware are out-of-date
  • Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the SharePoint FFDDumper Log file
