Troubleshooting Problems Opening GER Files

Troubles Opening GER Files

Notepad++ Removed

Double-clicking your GER file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open GER File". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Notepad++ for %%os%% installed on your computer. Your operating system cannot associate your GER with Notepad++, so double-clicking the file won't work.

Tip: When another GER application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.

Obsolete Version of Notepad++

In other instances, your German Text/html Info file version may not be supported by your version of Notepad++. Download the latest Notepad++ version from the Don Ho 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: Investigate your GER file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.

Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening GER files are due to having the wrong version of Notepad++ installed.
