Understanding MIN Issues


Typical MIN Opening Challenges

Microsoft Notepad Removed

If you attempt to load your MIN file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open MIN Files". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Microsoft Notepad for %%os%% installed on your computer. Your operating system cannot associate your MIN with Microsoft Notepad, so double-clicking the file won't work.


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


Obsolete Version of Microsoft Notepad

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


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


Conclusion: The majority of MIN file opening issues are due to not having the correct Microsoft Notepad version installed.


Additional MIN Opening Issues

Errors opening Okuma CNC Program File files can still occur even with the latest Microsoft Notepad software installed on your computer. If you are continuing to have errors with loading MIN files, other external issues might be to blame. Additional factors include:

  • MIN file references in the Windows Registry are broken
  • Accidental deletion of the description of the MIN file in the Windows registry
  • Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the MIN format
  • Your MIN can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
  • MIN file integrity has been compromised by malware
  • Device drivers of the hardware associated with your MIN file are corrupt or out-of-date
  • Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the Okuma CNC Program File file
