Understanding ALA Issues


Issues Opening ALA Files

Alan System Removed

When you double-click your ALA file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Alan System for %%os%% installed on your computer. You won't be able to double-click to open your ALA because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.


Tip: If you know of another program that can open your ALA file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.


Incorrect Alan System Version

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Alan System installed that's incompatible with your Alan Game File type. If you do not have the proper version Alan System (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. This issue mainly occurs when your Alan Game File file was created by a newer version of Alan System than you have on your PC.


Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of ALA 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 ALA files are due to having the wrong version of Alan System installed.
