Understanding JQX Issues

Typical JQX Opening Challenges

Microsoft Windows Not Present

Double-clicking your JQX file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open JQX File". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Microsoft Windows isn't installed on your PC. 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: When another JQX application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.

Microsoft Windows is Out-of-Date

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Microsoft Windows installed that's incompatible with your Microsoft Windows Help-Related File type. You will need to download a newer version of Microsoft Windows if you don't have the right version. Your Microsoft Windows Help-Related File file was probably created by a newer release of Microsoft Windows than what's currently installed your computer.

Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the JQX file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.

Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening JQX files are due to having the wrong version of Microsoft Windows installed.

Other Causes of JQX File Opening Problems

Even with the correct version of Microsoft Windows installed, you can still experience difficulties opening JQXs. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening JQXs. Issues that aren't software-related:

• File references in the Windows Registry for JQX are wrong
• Mistaken removal of the Windows registry JQX description
• Partial installation of Microsoft Windows that did not fully complete
• The JQX itself is corrupted
• Past or present virus infection has affected your JQX
• JQX-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
• Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Microsoft Windows Help-Related File format
