Understanding SIN Issues


Typical SIN Opening Challenges

Rise Of Nations Isn't There

You attempt to load your SIN file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The SIN File Extension". Customarily, this means that Rise Of Nations is not installed on %%os%%. 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: When you have another program installed that you know will open your SIN, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").


Incorrect Rise Of Nations Version

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Rise Of Nations Campaign Media File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. You will need to download a newer version of Rise Of Nations if you don't have the right version. Your Rise Of Nations Campaign Media File file was probably created by a newer release of Rise Of Nations than what's currently installed your computer.


Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your SIN file and clicking "Properties".


Summary: Not having the right Rise Of Nations version on your computer can cause problems opening SIN files.


Associated Difficulties Loading SIN Files

Assuming you have the right Rise Of Nations version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening SIN files. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening SIN files. Additional factors include:

  • Invalid SIN file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
  • Deletion of the SIN file description from the Registry by mistake
  • Defective install of a SIN program, such as Rise Of Nations
  • SIN file corruption
  • Past or present virus infection has affected your SIN
  • Device drivers of the hardware associated with your SIN file are corrupt or out-of-date
  • Windows cannot load your Rise Of Nations Campaign Media File file due to insufficient resources (eg. RAM)
