ECMA File Complications

Common Problems Opening ECMA Files

Unknown Software Disappeared

Double-clicking your ECMA file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open ECMA File". Usually, this is because you do not have Unknown Software for %%os%% installed. You won't be able to double-click to open your ECMA because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.

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

Outdated Unknown Software

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Unknown Software installed that's incompatible with your Unknown File Type type. You will need to download a newer version of Unknown Software if you don't have the right 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: If you right-click on your ECMA file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.

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

Additional ECMA Opening Issues

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Unknown Software will resolve your issue. If you are still having problems opening ECMA files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. Additional factors include:

• Windows Registry ECMA file paths that are incorrect
• Deletion of the ECMA file description from the Registry by mistake
• Invalid installation of a ECMA-associated program (eg. Unknown Software)
• Your ECMA can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
• Past or present virus infection has affected your ECMA
• Device drivers for ECMA-related hardware are out-of-date
• Windows has inadequate resources to open your Unknown File Type file
