Troubleshoot VAG Files


Common Problems Opening VAG Files

Nullsoft Winamp Removed

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open VAG Files" when trying to open your VAG. Usually, this is because you do not have Nullsoft Winamp for %%os%% installed. The OS won't know what to do with your VAG file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: When another VAG application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.


Nullsoft Winamp is Out-of-Date

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Sony Playstation/PS2 Compressed Sound File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Visit the Nullsoft website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Nullsoft Winamp. The primary cause of this problem is that your Sony Playstation/PS2 Compressed Sound File file was created by a different (newer) version of Nullsoft Winamp than what's installed.


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


Conclusion: The majority of VAG file opening issues are due to not having the correct Nullsoft Winamp version installed.
