PHS File Complications


Frequent PHS Opening Issues

XtalView Removed

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open PHS Files" when trying to open your PHS. If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have XtalView for %%os%% installed on your computer. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the PHS file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.


Tip: When another PHS application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.


XtalView Requires Update

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a XtalView Phase File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. If you've got the wrong version of XtalView installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This issue mainly occurs when your XtalView Phase File file was created by a newer version of XtalView than you have on your PC.


Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the PHS file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.


Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening PHS files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.


Other PHS File Issues

Errors opening XtalView Phase File files can still occur even with the latest XtalView software installed on your computer. If you're still experiencing problems opening PHS files, there could be other computer problems. Other contributing causes:

  • Windows Registry PHS file paths that are incorrect
  • Corruption of the PHS file description inside the Registry
  • Partial installation of XtalView that did not fully complete
  • File corruption affecting your PHS file
  • Past or present virus infection has affected your PHS
  • Device drivers for PHS-related hardware are out-of-date
  • Insufficient system resources to successfully open XtalView Phase File files
