WSR File Complications

Frequent WSR Opening Issues

Crossword Genius Removed

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open WSR Files" when trying to open your WSR. Customarily, this means that Crossword Genius is not installed on %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the WSR file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.

Tip: Another WSR-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.

Crossword Genius Requires Update

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Crossword Genius installed that's incompatible with your Crossword Genius Data type. If you've got the wrong version of Crossword Genius installed, you'll need to install the correct version. 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: Investigate your WSR file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.

Regardless, most of the WSR file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Crossword Genius installed.

Other Causes of WSR File Opening Problems

Errors opening Crossword Genius Data files can still occur even with the latest Crossword Genius software installed on your computer. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening WSR files. Additional factors include:

• Your WSR file is corrupted (issues with your Crossword Genius Data file itself)
• Malware-tainted WSR file can't be opened
• Device drivers for WSR-related hardware are out-of-date
