Sources of YAB Problems


Frequent YAB Opening Issues

Yabasic is Not Installed

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open YAB Files" when trying to open your YAB. Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Yabasic isn't installed on your PC. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the YAB file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.


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


Yabasic Requires Update

Your Yabasic Source Code file is incompatible with Yabasic because you might have the wrong version installed. You will need to download a newer version of Yabasic if you don't have the right version. The primary cause of this problem is that your Yabasic Source Code file was created by a different (newer) version of Yabasic than what's installed.


Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the YAB file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.


Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening YAB files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.


Other YAB File Issues

Errors opening Yabasic Source Code files can still occur even with the latest Yabasic software installed on your computer. If you're still experiencing problems opening YAB files, there could be other computer problems. Other contributing causes:

  • File corruption affecting your YAB file
  • Malware-tainted YAB file can't be opened
