Understanding MSRCINCIDENT Issues
Typical MSRCINCIDENT Opening Challenges
Microsoft Windows Removed
When you double-click your MSRCINCIDENT file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". When this happens, it is commonly due to Microsoft Windows missing in %%os%%. The typical path of opening your MSRCINCIDENT 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 MSRCINCIDENT file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.
Wrong Version of Microsoft Windows is Installed
It is possible that your version of Microsoft Windows isn't able to open your Microsoft Windows Remote Assistance Request Data file due to incompatibility. Download the latest Microsoft Windows version from the Microsoft Corporation website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Your Microsoft Windows Remote Assistance Request Data file was probably created by a newer release of Microsoft Windows than what's currently installed your computer.
Tip: Investigate your MSRCINCIDENT file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.
Regardless, most of the MSRCINCIDENT file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Microsoft Windows installed.
Associated Difficulties Loading MSRCINCIDENT Files
Even with the correct version of Microsoft Windows installed, you can still experience difficulties opening MSRCINCIDENTs. If you are still having problems opening MSRCINCIDENT files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. Additional factors include:
- Invalid MSRCINCIDENT file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
- Unintentional removal of the description of the MSRCINCIDENT file inside the Windows Registry
- Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the MSRCINCIDENT format
- Your MSRCINCIDENT file is corrupted (issues with your Microsoft Windows Remote Assistance Request Data file itself)
- The MSRCINCIDENT is infected with a virus
- MSRCINCIDENT-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
- Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the Microsoft Windows Remote Assistance Request Data file
