INA Troubleshooting


Common Problems Opening INA Files

Missing MS-DOS

If you attempt to load your INA file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open INA Files". When this happens, it is commonly due to MS-DOS missing in %%os%%. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.


Tip: Another INA-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.


MS-DOS is Out-of-Date

Your MS-DOS Data File file is incompatible with MS-DOS because you might have the wrong version installed. Visit the Microsoft Corporation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of MS-DOS. The primary cause of this problem is that your MS-DOS Data File file was created by a different (newer) version of MS-DOS than what's installed.


Tip: If you right-click on your INA file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.


Conclusion: The majority of INA file opening issues are due to not having the correct MS-DOS version installed.


Other INA File Issues

Errors opening MS-DOS Data File files can still occur even with the latest MS-DOS software installed on your computer. Other INA opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Issues that aren't software-related:

  • INA file references in the Windows Registry are broken
  • The INA file description within the Windows Registry was removed
  • Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the INA format
  • Your INA can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
  • Your INA is infected with malware
  • Device drivers of the hardware associated with your INA file are corrupt or out-of-date
  • Windows has inadequate resources to open your MS-DOS Data File file
