LGU File Complications
Common Problems Opening LGU Files
Microsoft Windows CE Embedded Removed
You attempt to load your LGU file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The LGU File Extension". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Microsoft Windows CE Embedded for %%os%% installed on your computer. You won't be able to double-click to open your LGU because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.
Tip: When another LGU application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.
Incorrect Microsoft Windows CE Embedded Version
Sometimes your installed version of Microsoft Windows CE Embedded won't support your LG Windows CE Upgrade Data file. If you do not have the proper version Microsoft Windows CE Embedded (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. This issue mainly occurs when your LG Windows CE Upgrade Data file was created by a newer version of Microsoft Windows CE Embedded than you have on your PC.
Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of LGU file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).
Summary: Not having the right Microsoft Windows CE Embedded version on your computer can cause problems opening LGU files.
Other LGU File Issues
Assuming you have the right Microsoft Windows CE Embedded version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening LGU files.
