Understanding STATUS Issues
Common STATUS Opening Problems
Missing UDraw(Graph)
You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open STATUS Files" when trying to open your STATUS. If so, it typically means that you don't have UDraw(Graph) installed for %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your STATUS because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.
Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your STATUS, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").
UDraw(Graph) is Out-of-Date
In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a UDraw(Graph) File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. If you've got the wrong version of UDraw(Graph) installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This problem is predominately due to having a UDraw(Graph) File file version that was created by a newer version of UDraw(Graph) than what you have installed on your PC.
Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of STATUS file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).
Conclusion: The majority of STATUS file opening issues are due to not having the correct UDraw(Graph) version installed.
Other STATUS File Opening Causes
Even with the correct version of UDraw(Graph) installed, you can still experience difficulties opening STATUSs. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening STATUSs. Other contributing causes:
- Invalid STATUS file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
- Corruption of the STATUS file description inside the Registry
- Defective install of a STATUS program, such as UDraw(Graph)
- File corruption affecting your STATUS file
- Malware-tainted STATUS file can't be opened
- Drivers associated with STATUS software need to be updated
- Too many applications are open on your PC to load your UDraw(Graph) File file successfully
