OMG Troubleshooting


Frequent OMG Opening Issues

Missing O&O DiskImage

Double-clicking your OMG file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open OMG File". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have O&O DiskImage for %%os%% installed on your computer. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.


Tip: If you don't have O&O DiskImage installed, and you know of another program to open your OMG file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".


Obsolete Version of O&O DiskImage

Sometimes your installed version of O&O DiskImage won't support your O&O Image File file. You will need to download a newer version of O&O DiskImage if you don't have the right version. This problem is predominately due to having a O&O Image File file version that was created by a newer version of O&O DiskImage than what you have installed on your PC.


Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of OMG file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).


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


Other OMG File Opening Causes

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of O&O DiskImage will resolve your issue. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening OMG files. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):

  • OMG file type Registry entries are wrong
  • Accidental deletion of the description of the OMG file in the Windows registry
  • Corrupt install of O&O DiskImage or other OMG-related program
  • OMG file corruption
  • Your OMG is infected with malware
  • Device drivers for OMG-related hardware are out-of-date
  • Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the O&O Image File file
