Sources of RGE Problems


Frequent RGE Opening Issues

Microsoft Outlook 2016 Isn't There

You attempt to load your RGE file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The RGE File Extension". Customarily, this means that Microsoft Outlook 2016 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: When another RGE application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.


Microsoft Outlook 2016 Requires Update

In other instances, your Entourage File Archive file version may not be supported by your version of Microsoft Outlook 2016. You will need to download a newer version of Microsoft Outlook 2016 if you don't have the right version. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.


Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of RGE file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).


Regardless, most of the RGE file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Microsoft Outlook 2016 installed.


Associated Difficulties Loading RGE Files

Although you might already have Microsoft Outlook 2016 or another RGE-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Entourage File Archive files. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening RGE files. Issues that aren't software-related:

  • RGE file type Registry entries are wrong
  • The RGE file description within the Windows Registry was removed
  • Invalid installation of a RGE-associated program (eg. Microsoft Outlook 2016)
  • File corruption affecting your RGE file
  • Your RGE is infected with malware
  • Hardware associated with RGE has outdated drivers
  • Windows cannot load your Entourage File Archive file due to insufficient resources (eg. RAM)
