64D Troubleshooting
Issues Opening 64D Files
VICE Isn't There
You attempt to load your 64D file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The 64D File Extension". When this happens, it is commonly due to VICE missing in %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your 64D because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.
Tip: If you have another software that you know opens 64D files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.
Incorrect VICE Version
In other instances, your C64 PC64 Emulator File file version may not be supported by your version of VICE. Download the latest VICE version from the Open Source website to ensure you have the correct one installed. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.
Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the 64D file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.
Primarily, problems experienced when opening 64D files are due to having the incorrect version of VICE installed on your computer.
Associated Difficulties Loading 64D Files
Although you might already have VICE or another 64D-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening C64 PC64 Emulator File files. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening 64D files. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):
- Windows Registry 64D file paths that are incorrect
- Deletion of the 64D file description from the Registry by mistake
- Partial installation of VICE that did not fully complete
- The 64D itself is corrupted
- 64D file integrity has been compromised by malware
- Device drivers for 64D-related hardware are out-of-date
- Too many applications are open on your PC to load your C64 PC64 Emulator File file successfully
