Sources of IQY Problems


Issues Opening IQY Files

Microsoft Excel Disappeared

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open IQY Files" when trying to open your IQY. Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Microsoft Excel isn't installed on your PC. The OS won't know what to do with your IQY file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


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


Obsolete Version of Microsoft Excel

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Microsoft Excel installed that's incompatible with your Internet Query type. Installing the latest version of Microsoft Excel from Microsoft Corporation is recommended. The primary cause of this problem is that your Internet Query file was created by a different (newer) version of Microsoft Excel than what's installed.


Tip: Right-clicking on your IQY, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.


Conclusion: The majority of IQY file opening issues are due to not having the correct Microsoft Excel version installed.


Associated Difficulties Loading IQY Files

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Microsoft Excel will resolve your issue. If you are continuing to have errors with loading IQY files, other external issues might be to blame. Other contributing causes:

  • File references in the Windows Registry for IQY are wrong
  • Accidental deletion of the description of the IQY file in the Windows registry
  • Microsoft Excel or another IQY application experienced a flawed installation
  • IQY file corruption
  • Past or present virus infection has affected your IQY
  • Drivers associated with IQY software need to be updated
  • Windows has inadequate resources to open your Internet Query file
