When trying to open your GROUP file, you get the error "Can't Open GROUP File Type". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Microsoft Windows Contacts isn't installed on your PC. You won't be able to double-click to open your GROUP because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.


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


Microsoft Windows Contacts is Out-of-Date
