Troubleshooting Problems Opening STATE Files

Frequent STATE Opening Issues

Windows Photo Gallery Disappeared

When you double-click your STATE file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Usually, this is because you do not have Windows Photo Gallery for %%os%% installed. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the STATE file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.

Tip: If you know of another program that can open your STATE file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.

Wrong Version of Windows Photo Gallery is Installed

In other instances, your Windows Photo Gallery User Data file version may not be supported by your version of Windows Photo Gallery. Visit the Microsoft Corporation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Windows Photo Gallery. This problem is predominately due to having a Windows Photo Gallery User Data file version that was created by a newer version of Windows Photo Gallery than what you have installed on your PC.

Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your STATE file and clicking "Properties".

Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening STATE files are due to having the wrong version of Windows Photo Gallery installed.

Other STATE File Opening Causes

Errors opening Windows Photo Gallery User Data files can still occur even with the latest Windows Photo Gallery software installed on your computer. Other STATE opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Problems unrelated to software:

• Invalid STATE file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
• The STATE file description within the Windows Registry was removed
• Defective install of a STATE program, such as Windows Photo Gallery
• Your STATE can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
• The STATE is infected with a virus
• Hardware related to STATEs has device driver corruption
• Insufficient system resources to successfully open Windows Photo Gallery User Data files
