Troubleshooting Problems Opening RESMONCFG Files

Common RESMONCFG Opening Problems

Microsoft Resource Monitor Removed

When you double-click your RESMONCFG 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 Resource Monitor missing in %%os%%. The typical path of opening your RESMONCFG with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.

Tip: If you don't have Microsoft Resource Monitor installed, and you know of another program to open your RESMONCFG file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".

Obsolete Version of Microsoft Resource Monitor

In other instances, your Microsoft Windows Resource Monitor Settings file version may not be supported by your version of Microsoft Resource Monitor. You will need to download a newer version of Microsoft Resource Monitor if you don't have the right version. Most of the time your Microsoft Windows Resource Monitor Settings file was created by a newer Microsoft Resource Monitor than what you have installed.

Tip: Investigate your RESMONCFG file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.

Regardless, most of the RESMONCFG file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Microsoft Resource Monitor installed.
