Troubleshooting Problems Opening 2A Files
Frequent 2A Opening Issues
Atom is Not Installed
If you attempt to load your 2A file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open 2A Files". If so, it typically means that you don't have Atom installed for %%os%%. The typical path of opening your 2A with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.
Tip: When another 2A application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.
Incorrect Atom Version
In other instances, your Unknown Apple II File. (found On Golden Orchard Apple II CD Rom) file version may not be supported by your version of Atom. If you've got the wrong version of Atom 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: Right-clicking on your 2A, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.
Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening 2A files are due to having the wrong version of Atom installed.
More Causes of Problems Opening 2As

- The 2A file description within the Windows Registry was removed
- Corrupt install of Atom or other 2A-related program
- File corruption affecting your 2A file
- 2A file integrity has been compromised by malware
- Device drivers for 2A-related hardware are out-of-date
- Too many applications are open on your PC to load your Unknown Apple II File. (found On Golden Orchard Apple II CD Rom) file successfully
