Troubleshoot M4S Files


Common M4S Opening Problems

Myst IV: Revelation Disappeared

When trying to open your M4S file, you get the error "Can't Open M4S File Type". Customarily, this means that Myst IV: Revelation is not installed on %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the M4S file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.


Tip: If you don't have Myst IV: Revelation installed, and you know of another program to open your M4S file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".


Myst IV: Revelation Requires Update

It is possible that your version of Myst IV: Revelation isn't able to open your Myst IV: Revelation Save Game File file due to incompatibility. If you do not have the proper version Myst IV: Revelation (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. Your Myst IV: Revelation Save Game File file was probably created by a newer release of Myst IV: Revelation than what's currently installed your computer.


Tip: Investigate your M4S file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


Regardless, most of the M4S file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Myst IV: Revelation installed.


Associated Difficulties Loading M4S Files

Although you might already have Myst IV: Revelation or another M4S-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Myst IV: Revelation Save Game File files. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening M4S files. Problems unrelated to software:

  • Invalid M4S file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
  • Deletion of the M4S file description from the Registry by mistake
  • Myst IV: Revelation or another M4S application experienced a flawed installation
  • Something has caused file corruption of your M4S
  • M4S file integrity has been compromised by malware
  • Hardware related to M4Ss has device driver corruption
  • Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Myst IV: Revelation Save Game File format
