Troubleshoot WCD Files

Typical WCD Opening Challenges

Microsoft Works Not Present

When trying to open your WCD file, you get the error "Can't Open WCD File Type". If so, it typically means that you don't have Microsoft Works installed for %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your WCD because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.

Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your WCD, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").

Outdated Microsoft Works

Your Microsoft Works Calendar File file is incompatible with Microsoft Works because you might have the wrong version installed. You will need to download a newer version of Microsoft Works if you don't have the right version. This issue mainly occurs when your Microsoft Works Calendar File file was created by a newer version of Microsoft Works than you have on your PC.

Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of WCD file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).

Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening WCD files are due to having the wrong version of Microsoft Works installed.

Associated Difficulties Loading WCD Files

Errors opening Microsoft Works Calendar File files can still occur even with the latest Microsoft Works software installed on your computer. Other WCD opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Issues that aren't software-related:

• Invalid WCD file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
• Corruption of the WCD file description inside the Registry
• Defective install of a WCD program, such as Microsoft Works
• File corruption affecting your WCD file
• WCD file integrity has been compromised by malware
• Hardware related to WCDs has device driver corruption
• Windows cannot load your Microsoft Works Calendar File file due to insufficient resources (eg. RAM)
