Sources of CDT Problems
Issues Opening CDT Files
Missing IsoBuster
When trying to open your CDT file, you get the error "Can't Open CDT File Type". Usually, this is because you do not have IsoBuster for %%os%% installed. The OS won't know what to do with your CDT file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.
Tip: If you know of another program that can open your CDT file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.
Obsolete Version of IsoBuster
Your CD-Text File file is incompatible with IsoBuster because you might have the wrong version installed. If you've got the wrong version of IsoBuster 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: Right-clicking on your CDT, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.
Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening CDT files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.
Other CDT File Opening Causes
Even with the correct version of IsoBuster installed, you can still experience difficulties opening CDTs. If you're still experiencing problems opening CDT files, there could be other computer problems. Issues that aren't software-related:
- CDT file references in the Windows Registry are broken
- Corruption of the CDT file description inside the Registry
- IsoBuster or another CDT application experienced a flawed installation
- Something has caused file corruption of your CDT
- Your CDT has adversely impacted by malware
- Hardware associated with CDT has outdated drivers
- Windows has inadequate resources to open your CD-Text File file
