GXS Troubleshooting
Issues Opening GXS Files
GrafiXML Removed
Double-clicking your GXS file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open GXS File". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because GrafiXML isn't installed on your PC. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the GXS file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.
Tip: If you know of another program that can open your GXS file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.
Wrong Version of GrafiXML is Installed
It is possible that your version of GrafiXML isn't able to open your GrafiXML Graph Data File file due to incompatibility. Download the latest GrafiXML version from the Open Source website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Your GrafiXML Graph Data File file was probably created by a newer release of GrafiXML than what's currently installed your computer.
Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your GXS file and clicking "Properties".
Primarily, problems experienced when opening GXS files are due to having the incorrect version of GrafiXML installed on your computer.
Additional GXS Opening Issues
You can still experience errors opening GXS files even with the latest version of GrafiXML installed on your PC. Other GXS opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Issues that aren't software-related:
- Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for GXS
- Mistaken removal of the Windows registry GXS description
- Corrupt install of GrafiXML or other GXS-related program
- Something has caused file corruption of your GXS
- GXS file integrity has been compromised by malware
- Hardware related to GXSs has device driver corruption
- Windows has inadequate resources to open your GrafiXML Graph Data File file
