ITZ File Complications
Issues Opening ITZ Files
Missing Impulse Tracker
When trying to open your ITZ file, you get the error "Can't Open ITZ File Type". If so, it typically means that you don't have Impulse Tracker installed for %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your ITZ because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.
Tip: Another ITZ-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.
Outdated Impulse Tracker
Sometimes your installed version of Impulse Tracker won't support your Impulse Tracker Music Module file. If you've got the wrong version of Impulse Tracker installed, you'll need to install the correct version. 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 ITZ file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.
Primarily, problems experienced when opening ITZ files are due to having the incorrect version of Impulse Tracker installed on your computer.
Additional ITZ Opening Issues
Although you might already have Impulse Tracker or another ITZ-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Impulse Tracker Music Module files. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening ITZs. Problems unrelated to software:
- ITZ file references in the Windows Registry are broken
- Corruption of the ITZ file description inside the Registry
- Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the ITZ format
- Your ITZ can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
- Past or present virus infection has affected your ITZ
- Device drivers of the hardware associated with your ITZ file are corrupt or out-of-date
- Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the Impulse Tracker Music Module file
