Troubleshooting Problems Opening SYSTEM Files


Frequent SYSTEM Opening Issues

Microsoft Notepad Removed

When you double-click your SYSTEM file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". If so, it typically means that you don't have Microsoft Notepad installed for %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the SYSTEM file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.


Tip: If you know of another program that can open your SYSTEM file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.


Microsoft Notepad is Out-of-Date

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Vega Strike Virtual System File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Installing the latest version of Microsoft Notepad from Microsoft Corporation is recommended. This problem is predominately due to having a Vega Strike Virtual System File file version that was created by a newer version of Microsoft Notepad than what you have installed on your PC.


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


Summary: Not having the right Microsoft Notepad version on your computer can cause problems opening SYSTEM files.


More Causes of Problems Opening SYSTEMs

Even with the correct version of Microsoft Notepad installed, you can still experience difficulties opening SYSTEMs. If you're still experiencing problems opening SYSTEM files, there could be other computer problems. Issues that aren't software-related:

  • Invalid SYSTEM file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
  • The SYSTEM file description within the Windows Registry was removed
  • Corrupt install of Microsoft Notepad or other SYSTEM-related program
  • File corruption affecting your SYSTEM file
  • Your SYSTEM is infected with malware
  • Device drivers of the hardware associated with your SYSTEM file are corrupt or out-of-date
  • Windows cannot load your Vega Strike Virtual System File file due to insufficient resources (eg. RAM)
