Troubleshoot LGM Files

Issues Opening LGM Files

Missing Microsoft Windows

When trying to open your LGM file, you get the error "Can't Open LGM File Type". Usually, this is because you do not have Microsoft Windows for %%os%% installed. The typical path of opening your LGM with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.

Tip: If you know of another program that can open your LGM file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.

Microsoft Windows is Out-of-Date

In other instances, your Microsoft Windows Application Log File file version may not be supported by your version of Microsoft Windows. If you do not have the proper version Microsoft Windows (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. Your Microsoft Windows Application Log 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 LGM file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.

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