Sources of VC4 Problems


Frequent VC4 Opening Issues

Notepad++ Removed

When trying to open your VC4 file, you get the error "Can't Open VC4 File Type". Customarily, this means that Notepad++ is not installed on %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the VC4 file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.


Tip: If you know of another program that can open your VC4 file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.


Incorrect Notepad++ Version

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Notepad++ installed that's incompatible with your Visual C++ 4 File type. Visit the Don Ho website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Notepad++. This problem is predominately due to having a Visual C++ 4 File file version that was created by a newer version of Notepad++ than what you have installed on your PC.


Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the VC4 file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.


Regardless, most of the VC4 file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Notepad++ installed.


Additional VC4 Opening Issues

Assuming you have the right Notepad++ version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening VC4 files. If you're still experiencing problems opening VC4 files, there could be other computer problems. These issues include:

  • Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for VC4
  • The VC4 file description within the Windows Registry was removed
  • Defective install of a VC4 program, such as Notepad++
  • VC4 file corruption
  • Past or present virus infection has affected your VC4
  • Hardware related to VC4s has device driver corruption
  • Too many applications are open on your PC to load your Visual C++ 4 File file successfully
