Understanding UUD Issues

Common UUD Opening Problems

UUDeview Disappeared

If you attempt to load your UUD file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open UUD Files". If so, it typically means that you don't have UUDeview installed for %%os%%. The typical path of opening your UUD with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.

Tip: If you don't have UUDeview installed, and you know of another program to open your UUD file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".

Obsolete Version of UUDeview

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of UUDeview installed that's incompatible with your UUDecoded File type. Download the latest UUDeview version from the Open Source website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Most of the time your UUDecoded File file was created by a newer UUDeview than what you have installed.

Tip: Investigate your UUD file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.

Regardless, most of the UUD file opening problems relate to not having the right version of UUDeview installed.

Associated Difficulties Loading UUD Files

Even with the correct version of UUDeview installed, you can still experience difficulties opening UUDs. If you are still having problems opening UUD files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. Other contributing causes:

• Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for UUD
• Accidental deletion of the description of the UUD file in the Windows registry
• Partial installation of UUDeview that did not fully complete
• File corruption affecting your UUD file
• Your UUD is infected with malware
• UUD-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
• Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the UUDecoded File format
