Troubleshooting Problems Opening KAN Files

Common KAN Opening Problems

Kwalitan Removed

Double-clicking your KAN file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open KAN File". Customarily, this means that Kwalitan is not installed on %%os%%. The typical path of opening your KAN with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.

Tip: If you have another software that you know opens KAN files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.

Kwalitan is Out-of-Date

Your Kwalitan Annotation file is incompatible with Kwalitan because you might have the wrong version installed. Download the latest Kwalitan version from the Open Source website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Most of the time your Kwalitan Annotation file was created by a newer Kwalitan than what you have installed.

Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of KAN file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).

Primarily, problems experienced when opening KAN files are due to having the incorrect version of Kwalitan installed on your computer.

Associated Difficulties Loading KAN Files

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Kwalitan will resolve your issue. If you are still having problems opening KAN files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. Other contributing causes:

• Invalid KAN file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
• Accidental deletion of the description of the KAN file in the Windows registry
• Partial installation of Kwalitan that did not fully complete
• Your KAN can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
• Past or present virus infection has affected your KAN
• Device drivers of the hardware associated with your KAN file are corrupt or out-of-date
• Windows cannot load your Kwalitan Annotation file due to insufficient resources (eg. RAM)
