GXF Troubleshooting

Frequent GXF Opening Issues

Zoom Player Removed

Double-clicking your GXF file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open GXF File". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Zoom Player isn't installed on your PC. The OS won't know what to do with your GXF file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.

Tip: If you have another software that you know opens GXF files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.

Obsolete Version of Zoom Player

Sometimes your installed version of Zoom Player won't support your General eXchange Format File file. If you've got the wrong version of Zoom Player 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: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the GXF file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.

Conclusion: The majority of GXF file opening issues are due to not having the correct Zoom Player version installed.
