Troubleshooting Problems Opening SQM Files

Frequent SQM Opening Issues

Microsoft Windows Isn't There

When trying to open your SQM file, you get the error "Can't Open SQM File Type". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Microsoft Windows isn't installed on your PC. The typical path of opening your SQM with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.

Tip: When another SQM application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.

Obsolete Version of Microsoft Windows

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Service Quality Monitoring File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Installing the latest version of Microsoft Windows from Microsoft Corporation is recommended. This issue mainly occurs when your Service Quality Monitoring File file was created by a newer version of Microsoft Windows than you have on your PC.

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

Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening SQM files are due to having the wrong version of Microsoft Windows installed.

Other SQM File Issues

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Microsoft Windows will resolve your issue. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening SQM files. Issues that aren't software-related:

• Windows Registry SQM file paths that are incorrect
• Mistaken removal of the Windows registry SQM description
• Invalid installation of a SQM-associated program (eg. Microsoft Windows)
• File corruption affecting your SQM file
• Your SQM is infected with malware
• Device drivers for SQM-related hardware are out-of-date
• Windows has inadequate resources to open your Service Quality Monitoring File file
