Understanding IFILE Issues
Common IFILE Opening Problems
Amaya is Not Installed
When trying to open your IFILE file, you get the error "Can't Open IFILE File Type". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Amaya isn't installed on your PC. You won't be able to double-click to open your IFILE because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.
Tip: If you know of another program that can open your IFILE file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.
Amaya is Out-of-Date
In other instances, your Amaya I386 File file version may not be supported by your version of Amaya. Visit the Open Source website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Amaya. 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: If you right-click on your IFILE file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.
Regardless, most of the IFILE file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Amaya installed.
Additional IFILE Opening Issues
Errors opening Amaya I386 File files can still occur even with the latest Amaya software installed on your computer. If you are continuing to have errors with loading IFILE files, other external issues might be to blame. Additional factors include:
- IFILE file references in the Windows Registry are broken
- Mistaken removal of the Windows registry IFILE description
- Invalid installation of a IFILE-associated program (eg. Amaya)
- IFILE file corruption
- Past or present virus infection has affected your IFILE
- IFILE-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
- Windows has inadequate resources to open your Amaya I386 File file
