TXE File Complications

Common Problems Opening TXE Files

Missing Microsoft Notepad

If you attempt to load your TXE file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open TXE Files". When this happens, it is commonly due to Microsoft Notepad missing in %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your TXE because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.

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

Outdated Microsoft Notepad

Sometimes your installed version of Microsoft Notepad won't support your Enriched Text File file. Visit the Microsoft Corporation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Microsoft Notepad. 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: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the TXE file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.

Regardless, most of the TXE file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Microsoft Notepad installed.

Other Causes of TXE File Opening Problems

Errors opening Enriched Text File files can still occur even with the latest Microsoft Notepad software installed on your computer. If you are still having problems opening TXE files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. Problems unrelated to software:

• Your TXE can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
• Your TXE has adversely impacted by malware
• Drivers associated with TXE software need to be updated
