Sources of OGX Problems

Issues Opening OGX Files

Microsoft Windows Media Player Disappeared

Double-clicking your OGX file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open OGX File". Usually, this is because you do not have Microsoft Windows Media Player for %%os%% installed. The typical path of opening your OGX with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.

Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your OGX, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").

Wrong Version of Microsoft Windows Media Player is Installed

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Ogg Vorbis Multiplexed Media File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Download the latest Microsoft Windows Media Player version from the Microsoft Corporation website to ensure you have the correct one installed. The primary cause of this problem is that your Ogg Vorbis Multiplexed Media File file was created by a different (newer) version of Microsoft Windows Media Player than what's installed.

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

Conclusion: The majority of OGX file opening issues are due to not having the correct Microsoft Windows Media Player version installed.

Other OGX File Opening Causes

Even with the correct version of Microsoft Windows Media Player installed, you can still experience difficulties opening OGXs. If you are continuing to have errors with loading OGX files, other external issues might be to blame. Problems unrelated to software:

• Windows Registry OGX file paths that are incorrect
• The OGX file description within the Windows Registry was removed
• Partial installation of Microsoft Windows Media Player that did not fully complete
• Your OGX file is corrupted (issues with your Ogg Vorbis Multiplexed Media File file itself)
• The OGX is infected with a virus
• Device drivers of the hardware associated with your OGX file are corrupt or out-of-date
• Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Ogg Vorbis Multiplexed Media File format
