Understanding WSIM Issues
Frequent WSIM Opening Issues
FirstStop WebSearch Not Present
When you double-click your WSIM file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have FirstStop WebSearch for %%os%% installed on your computer. You won't be able to double-click to open your WSIM because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.
Tip: If you don't have FirstStop WebSearch installed, and you know of another program to open your WSIM file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".
FirstStop WebSearch Requires Update
In other instances, your FirstStop WebSearch Import Module file version may not be supported by your version of FirstStop WebSearch. Download the latest FirstStop WebSearch version from the Open Source website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Your FirstStop WebSearch Import Module file was probably created by a newer release of FirstStop WebSearch than what's currently installed your computer.
Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of WSIM file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).
Primarily, problems experienced when opening WSIM files are due to having the incorrect version of FirstStop WebSearch installed on your computer.
Associated Difficulties Loading WSIM Files
Although you might already have FirstStop WebSearch or another WSIM-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening FirstStop WebSearch Import Module files. Other WSIM opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Problems unrelated to software:
- Windows Registry WSIM file paths that are incorrect
- Mistaken removal of the Windows registry WSIM description
- Corrupt install of FirstStop WebSearch or other WSIM-related program
- File corruption affecting your WSIM file
- Your WSIM has adversely impacted by malware
- WSIM-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
- Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the FirstStop WebSearch Import Module format
