VUD File Complications


Troubles Opening VUD Files

Windows Virtual PC Isn't There

Double-clicking your VUD file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open VUD File". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Windows Virtual PC isn't installed on your PC. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.


Tip: If you have another software that you know opens VUD files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.


Wrong Version of Windows Virtual PC is Installed

It is possible that your version of Windows Virtual PC isn't able to open your Virtual Machine Undo Drive File file due to incompatibility. Download the latest Windows Virtual PC version from the Microsoft Corporation website to ensure you have the correct one installed. The primary cause of this problem is that your Virtual Machine Undo Drive File file was created by a different (newer) version of Windows Virtual PC than what's installed.


Tip: If you right-click on your VUD file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.


Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening VUD files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.


Other VUD File Issues

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

  • Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for VUD
  • Deletion of the VUD file description from the Registry by mistake
  • Corrupt install of Windows Virtual PC or other VUD-related program
  • File corruption affecting your VUD file
