AES File Complications

Common AES Opening Problems

Packetizer AES Crypt Removed

You attempt to load your AES file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The AES File Extension". Usually, this is because you do not have Packetizer AES Crypt for %%os%% installed. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the AES file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.

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

Packetizer AES Crypt Requires Update

Your AES Crypt Encrypted File file is incompatible with Packetizer AES Crypt because you might have the wrong version installed. If you've got the wrong version of Packetizer AES Crypt installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This problem is predominately due to having a AES Crypt Encrypted File file version that was created by a newer version of Packetizer AES Crypt than what you have installed on your PC.

Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the AES file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.

Conclusion: The majority of AES file opening issues are due to not having the correct Packetizer AES Crypt version installed.

Other AES File Opening Causes

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Packetizer AES Crypt will resolve your issue. Other AES opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Other contributing causes:

• AES file type Registry entries are wrong
• Deletion of the AES file description from the Registry by mistake
• Packetizer AES Crypt or another AES application experienced a flawed installation
• File corruption affecting your AES file
• Your AES is infected with malware
• Hardware associated with AES has outdated drivers
• Windows has inadequate resources to open your AES Crypt Encrypted File file
