3DR Troubleshooting
Typical 3DR Opening Challenges
3D Rad Isn't There
You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open 3DR Files" when trying to open your 3DR. Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because 3D Rad isn't installed on your PC. You won't be able to double-click to open your 3DR because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.
Tip: If you know of another program that can open your 3DR file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.
Obsolete Version of 3D Rad
Your 3D Rad Project File file is incompatible with 3D Rad because you might have the wrong version installed. If you've got the wrong version of 3D Rad installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This problem is predominately due to having a 3D Rad Project File file version that was created by a newer version of 3D Rad than what you have installed on your PC.
Tip: Investigate your 3DR file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.
Primarily, problems experienced when opening 3DR files are due to having the incorrect version of 3D Rad installed on your computer.
Associated Difficulties Loading 3DR Files
Errors opening 3D Rad Project File files can still occur even with the latest 3D Rad software installed on your computer. If you're still experiencing problems opening 3DR files, there could be other computer problems. Problems unrelated to software:
- File references in the Windows Registry for 3DR are wrong
- Accidental deletion of the description of the 3DR file in the Windows registry
- 3D Rad or another 3DR application experienced a flawed installation
- Something has caused file corruption of your 3DR
- Past or present virus infection has affected your 3DR
- 3DR-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
- Windows has inadequate resources to open your 3D Rad Project File file
