Troubleshooting Problems Opening IDQ Files


Troubles Opening IDQ Files

Internet Explorer Removed

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open IDQ Files" when trying to open your IDQ. When this happens, it is commonly due to Internet Explorer missing in %%os%%. The typical path of opening your IDQ with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


Tip: When another IDQ application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.


Internet Explorer is Out-of-Date

Sometimes your installed version of Internet Explorer won't support your Microsoft Internet Explorer Data Query File file. You will need to download a newer version of Internet Explorer if you don't have the right version. Your Microsoft Internet Explorer Data Query File file was probably created by a newer release of Internet Explorer than what's currently installed your computer.


Tip: Investigate your IDQ file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening IDQ files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.


Associated Difficulties Loading IDQ Files

You can still experience errors opening IDQ files even with the latest version of Internet Explorer installed on your PC. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening IDQ files. Problems unrelated to software:

  • Invalid IDQ file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)

  • Corrupt install of Internet Explorer or other IDQ-related program
  • Something has caused file corruption of your IDQ
  • The IDQ is infected with a virus
  • Device drivers for IDQ-related hardware are out-of-date
