Troubleshooting Problems Opening JRC Files

Frequent JRC Opening Issues

DOSBox Removed

When you double-click your JRC file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Customarily, this means that DOSBox is not installed on %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your JRC with DOSBox, so double-clicking the file won't work.

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

Obsolete Version of DOSBox

Sometimes your installed version of DOSBox won't support your PCjr Cartridge ROM File file. If you've got the wrong version of DOSBox installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This issue mainly occurs when your PCjr Cartridge ROM File file was created by a newer version of DOSBox than you have on your PC.

Tip: If you right-click on your JRC file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.

Regardless, most of the JRC file opening problems relate to not having the right version of DOSBox installed.

More Causes of Problems Opening JRCs

Even with the correct version of DOSBox installed, you can still experience difficulties opening JRCs. If you are continuing to have errors with loading JRC files, other external issues might be to blame. Issues that aren't software-related:

• Windows Registry JRC file paths that are incorrect
• Unintentional removal of the description of the JRC file inside the Windows Registry
• Invalid installation of a JRC-associated program (eg. DOSBox)
• The JRC itself is corrupted
• Your JRC is infected with malware
• Hardware associated with JRC has outdated drivers
