Troubleshooting Problems Opening IME Files


Common IME Opening Problems

Microsoft Windows Removed

When you double-click your IME file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Usually, this is because you do not have Microsoft Windows for %%os%% installed. The OS won't know what to do with your IME file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your IME, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").


Obsolete Version of Microsoft Windows

Your Windows Input Method Editor File file is incompatible with Microsoft Windows because you might have the wrong version installed. Installing the latest version of Microsoft Windows from Microsoft Corporation is recommended. 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 IME file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


Regardless, most of the IME file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Microsoft Windows installed.


Associated Difficulties Loading IME Files

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Microsoft Windows will resolve your issue. If you are continuing to have errors with loading IME files, other external issues might be to blame. Problems unrelated to software:

  • File references in the Windows Registry for IME are wrong
  • Deletion of the IME file description from the Registry by mistake
  • Partial installation of Microsoft Windows that did not fully complete
  • Your IME can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
  • The IME is infected with a virus
  • Drivers associated with IME software need to be updated
  • Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Windows Input Method Editor File format
