Troubleshoot KMY Files
Common KMY Opening Problems
KMyMoney Disappeared
You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open KMY Files" when trying to open your KMY. Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because KMyMoney isn't installed on your PC. Your operating system cannot associate your KMY with KMyMoney, so double-clicking the file won't work.
Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your KMY, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").
KMyMoney is Out-of-Date
Your KMyMoney Data File file is incompatible with KMyMoney because you might have the wrong version installed. Visit the Open Source website to download (or purchase) the latest version of KMyMoney. Your KMyMoney Data File file was probably created by a newer release of KMyMoney than what's currently installed your computer.
Tip: Right-clicking on your KMY, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.
Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening KMY files are due to having the wrong version of KMyMoney installed.
Other KMY File Issues
You can still experience errors opening KMY files even with the latest version of KMyMoney installed on your PC. If you are still having problems opening KMY files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. Issues that aren't software-related:
- Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for KMY
- Deletion of the KMY file description from the Registry by mistake
- KMyMoney or another KMY application experienced a flawed installation
- Something has caused file corruption of your KMY
- The KMY is infected with a virus
- Device drivers for KMY-related hardware are out-of-date
- Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the KMyMoney Data File format
