Troubleshoot UMS Files
Common UMS Opening Problems
Dragon UnPACKer Isn't There
You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open UMS Files" when trying to open your UMS. Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Dragon UnPACKer isn't installed on your PC. The OS won't know what to do with your UMS file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.
Tip: Another UMS-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.
Incorrect Dragon UnPACKer Version
It is possible that your version of Dragon UnPACKer isn't able to open your Dragon UnPACKer Version 5 Archive File file due to incompatibility. Download the latest Dragon UnPACKer version from the Open Source website to ensure you have the correct one installed. 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: Right-clicking on your UMS, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.
Conclusion: The majority of UMS file opening issues are due to not having the correct Dragon UnPACKer version installed.
