ETV Troubleshooting
Frequent ETV Opening Issues
eTplayer Isn't There
If you attempt to load your ETV file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open ETV Files". Customarily, this means that eTplayer is not installed on %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your ETV file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.
Tip: When another ETV application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.
Outdated eTplayer
In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a eTreppid Audio Data file that is unsupported by your installed application version. If you've got the wrong version of eTplayer installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This issue mainly occurs when your eTreppid Audio Data file was created by a newer version of eTplayer than you have on your PC.
Tip: If you right-click on your ETV file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.
Summary: Not having the right eTplayer version on your computer can cause problems opening ETV files.
Additional ETV Opening Issues
Although you might already have eTplayer or another ETV-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening eTreppid Audio Data files. If you are still having problems opening ETV files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. These issues include:
- File references in the Windows Registry for ETV are wrong
- Accidental deletion of the description of the ETV file in the Windows registry
- Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the ETV format
- Something has caused file corruption of your ETV
- Past or present virus infection has affected your ETV
- Drivers associated with ETV software need to be updated
- Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the eTreppid Audio Data format
