Understanding VB Issues

Typical VB Opening Challenges

Microsoft Notepad Not Present

Double-clicking your VB file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open VB File". If so, it typically means that you don't have Microsoft Notepad installed for %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your VB because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.

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

Outdated Microsoft Notepad

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Microsoft Notepad installed that's incompatible with your Visual Basic Project Item File type. Download the latest Microsoft Notepad version from the Microsoft Corporation website to ensure you have the correct one installed. This issue mainly occurs when your Visual Basic Project Item File file was created by a newer version of Microsoft Notepad than you have on your PC.

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

Regardless, most of the VB file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Microsoft Notepad installed.

Associated Difficulties Loading VB Files

Errors opening Visual Basic Project Item File files can still occur even with the latest Microsoft Notepad software installed on your computer. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening VBs. Additional factors include:

• File references in the Windows Registry for VB are wrong
• Unintentional removal of the description of the VB file inside the Windows Registry
• Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the VB format
• Something has caused file corruption of your VB
• VB file integrity has been compromised by malware
• Device drivers of the hardware associated with your VB file are corrupt or out-of-date
• Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Visual Basic Project Item File format
