PRV Troubleshooting


Frequent PRV Opening Issues

E-on Vue Removed

When you double-click your PRV 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 E-on Vue missing in %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your PRV because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.


Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your PRV, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").


Outdated E-on Vue

It is possible that your version of E-on Vue isn't able to open your Vue Preview File file due to incompatibility. If you've got the wrong version of E-on Vue installed, you'll need to install the correct version. The primary cause of this problem is that your Vue Preview File file was created by a different (newer) version of E-on Vue than what's installed.


Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the PRV file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.


Conclusion: The majority of PRV file opening issues are due to not having the correct E-on Vue version installed.


Other Causes of PRV File Opening Problems

Errors opening Vue Preview File files can still occur even with the latest E-on Vue software installed on your computer. Other PRV opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):

  • Windows Registry PRV file paths that are incorrect
  • Deletion of the PRV file description from the Registry by mistake
  • Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the PRV format
  • Your PRV file is corrupted (issues with your Vue Preview File file itself)
  • PRV file integrity has been compromised by malware
  • Hardware associated with PRV has outdated drivers
  • Windows cannot load your Vue Preview File file due to insufficient resources (eg. RAM)
