LGX File Complications
Issues Opening LGX Files
Microsoft Windows Removed
When you double-click your LGX file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Usually, this is because you do not have Microsoft Windows for %%os%% installed. The typical path of opening your LGX with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.
Tip: Another LGX-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.
Wrong Version of Microsoft Windows is Installed
It is possible that your version of Microsoft Windows isn't able to open your Microsoft Windows Received Message Data file due to incompatibility. 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 Received Message Data file was probably created by a newer release of Microsoft Windows than what's currently installed your computer.
Tip: If you right-click on your LGX file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.
Regardless, most of the LGX file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Microsoft Windows installed.

- Your LGX file is corrupted (issues with your Microsoft Windows Received Message Data file itself)
- Your LGX has adversely impacted by malware
