Understanding V2 Issues


Frequent V2 Opening Issues

Microsoft Windows Live Messenger Removed

Double-clicking your V2 file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open V2 File". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Microsoft Windows Live Messenger for %%os%% installed on your computer. The typical path of opening your V2 with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


Tip: Another V2-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.


Incorrect Microsoft Windows Live Messenger Version

Your Microsoft Live Messenger Data file is incompatible with Microsoft Windows Live Messenger because you might have the wrong version installed. Download the latest Microsoft Windows Live Messenger version from the Microsoft Corporation website to ensure you have the correct one installed. The primary cause of this problem is that your Microsoft Live Messenger Data file was created by a different (newer) version of Microsoft Windows Live Messenger than what's installed.


Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your V2 file and clicking "Properties".


Conclusion: The majority of V2 file opening issues are due to not having the correct Microsoft Windows Live Messenger version installed.


Associated Difficulties Loading V2 Files

Although you might already have Microsoft Windows Live Messenger or another V2-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Microsoft Live Messenger Data files.
