Troubleshoot PJX Files
Typical PJX Opening Challenges
Microsoft Visual FoxPro Disappeared
You attempt to load your PJX file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The PJX File Extension". Customarily, this means that Microsoft Visual FoxPro is not installed on %%os%%. 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: If you have another software that you know opens PJX files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.
Outdated Microsoft Visual FoxPro
Your Visual FoxPro Project file is incompatible with Microsoft Visual FoxPro because you might have the wrong version installed. If you've got the wrong version of Microsoft Visual FoxPro installed, you'll need to install the correct version. Most of the time your Visual FoxPro Project file was created by a newer Microsoft Visual FoxPro than what you have installed.
Tip: If you right-click on your PJX file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.
Regardless, most of the PJX file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Microsoft Visual FoxPro installed.
Associated Difficulties Loading PJX Files
You can still experience errors opening PJX files even with the latest version of Microsoft Visual FoxPro installed on your PC. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening PJXs. Issues that aren't software-related:
- Invalid PJX file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
- Corruption of the PJX file description inside the Registry
- Corrupt install of Microsoft Visual FoxPro or other PJX-related program
- PJX file corruption
- Past or present virus infection has affected your PJX
- Device drivers of the hardware associated with your PJX file are corrupt or out-of-date
- Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the Visual FoxPro Project file
