Sources of VSY Problems
Troubles Opening VSY Files
VNC Spy Not Present
Double-clicking your VSY file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open VSY File". If so, it typically means that you don't have VNC Spy installed for %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your VSY file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.
Tip: Another VSY-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.
VNC Spy Requires Update
Your VNC Spy Log File file is incompatible with VNC Spy because you might have the wrong version installed. If you've got the wrong version of VNC Spy installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This problem is predominately due to having a VNC Spy Log File file version that was created by a newer version of VNC Spy than what you have installed on your PC.
Tip: If you right-click on your VSY file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.
Summary: Not having the right VNC Spy version on your computer can cause problems opening VSY files.
Other VSY File Opening Causes
Assuming you have the right VNC Spy version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening VSY files. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening VSY files. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):
- VSY file type Registry entries are wrong
- Corruption of the VSY file description inside the Registry
- VNC Spy or another VSY application experienced a flawed installation
- Your VSY file is corrupted (issues with your VNC Spy Log File file itself)
- Past or present virus infection has affected your VSY
- Hardware associated with VSY has outdated drivers
- Windows has inadequate resources to open your VNC Spy Log File file
