Troubleshoot PAQ8 Files


Typical PAQ8 Opening Challenges

PAQ8 Isn't There

If you attempt to load your PAQ8 file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open PAQ8 Files". When this happens, it is commonly due to PAQ8 missing in %%os%%. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.


Tip: If you don't have PAQ8 installed, and you know of another program to open your PAQ8 file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".


Obsolete Version of PAQ8

It is possible that your version of PAQ8 isn't able to open your PAQ8 Data Archive file due to incompatibility. Installing the latest version of PAQ8 from Open Source is recommended. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.


Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your PAQ8 file and clicking "Properties".


Primarily, problems experienced when opening PAQ8 files are due to having the incorrect version of PAQ8 installed on your computer.


Other PAQ8 File Issues

Errors opening PAQ8 Data Archive files can still occur even with the latest PAQ8 software installed on your computer. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening PAQ8s. Other contributing causes:
