Troubleshoot KVT Files
Common Problems Opening KVT Files
KVIrc Disappeared
If you attempt to load your KVT file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open KVT Files". When this happens, it is commonly due to KVIrc missing in %%os%%. The typical path of opening your KVT with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.
Tip: If you know of another program that can open your KVT file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.
KVIrc Requires Update
In other instances, your KVIrc Heme file version may not be supported by your version of KVIrc. Installing the latest version of KVIrc from Open Source is recommended. The primary cause of this problem is that your KVIrc Heme file was created by a different (newer) version of KVIrc than what's installed.
Tip: Investigate your KVT file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.
Regardless, most of the KVT file opening problems relate to not having the right version of KVIrc installed.
More Causes of Problems Opening KVTs
Although you might already have KVIrc or another KVT-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening KVIrc Heme files. If you are continuing to have errors with loading KVT files, other external issues might be to blame. Problems unrelated to software:
- Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for KVT
- Corruption of the KVT file description inside the Registry
- Invalid installation of a KVT-associated program (eg. KVIrc)
- Something has caused file corruption of your KVT
- Your KVT is infected with malware
- Device drivers for KVT-related hardware are out-of-date
- Windows cannot load your KVIrc Heme file due to insufficient resources (eg. RAM)
