Understanding PJ Issues
Troubles Opening PJ Files
Project64 is Not Installed
You attempt to load your PJ file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The PJ File Extension". Usually, this is because you do not have Project64 for %%os%% installed. 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: When another PJ application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.
Incorrect Project64 Version
In other instances, your Project64 Saved State File file version may not be supported by your version of Project64. Visit the Open Source website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Project64. Your Project64 Saved State File file was probably created by a newer release of Project64 than what's currently installed your computer.
Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of PJ file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).
Primarily, problems experienced when opening PJ files are due to having the incorrect version of Project64 installed on your computer.
