Troubleshoot WLF Files

Troubles Opening WLF Files

Microsoft Windows Isn't There

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open WLF Files" when trying to open your WLF. Usually, this is because you do not have Microsoft Windows for %%os%% installed. Your operating system cannot associate your WLF with Microsoft Windows, so double-clicking the file won't work.

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

Incorrect Microsoft Windows Version

Sometimes your installed version of Microsoft Windows won't support your Microsoft Windows 98/Me Dr. Watson Log file. If you've got the wrong version of Microsoft Windows installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This problem is predominately due to having a Microsoft Windows 98/Me Dr. Watson Log file version that was created by a newer version of Microsoft Windows than what you have installed on your PC.

Tip: Investigate your WLF file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.

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