Common VC Opening Problems

VisiCalc is Not Installed

If you attempt to load your VC file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open VC Files". If so, it typically means that you don't have VisiCalc installed for %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the VC file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.


Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your VC, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").


Incorrect VisiCalc Version

In other instances, your VisiCalc Spreadsheet file version may not be supported by your version of VisiCalc. If you do not have the proper version VisiCalc (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. 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: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your VC file and clicking "Properties".


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


Other VC File Issues

You can still experience errors opening VC files even with the latest version of VisiCalc installed on your PC. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening VCs. These issues include:

  • VC file references in the Windows Registry are broken
  • The VC file description within the Windows Registry was removed
  • Defective install of a VC program, such as VisiCalc
  • The VC itself is corrupted
  • The VC is infected with a virus
  • Device drivers of the hardware associated with your VC file are corrupt or out-of-date
  • Too many applications are open on your PC to load your VisiCalc Spreadsheet file successfully
