Understanding OLV Issues
Issues Opening OLV Files
Unknown Software Isn't There
When you double-click your OLV file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Usually, this is because you do not have Unknown Software for %%os%% installed. The OS won't know what to do with your OLV file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.
Tip: Another OLV-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.
Wrong Version of Unknown Software is Installed
Sometimes your installed version of Unknown Software won't support your OnLive! Traveler Sound File file. Installing the latest version of Unknown Software from Unknown Developer is recommended. The primary cause of this problem is that your OnLive! Traveler Sound File file was created by a different (newer) version of Unknown Software than what's installed.
Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the OLV file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.
Regardless, most of the OLV file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Unknown Software installed.
Associated Difficulties Loading OLV Files
Errors opening OnLive! Traveler Sound File files can still occur even with the latest Unknown Software software installed on your computer. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening OLVs. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):
- OLV file type Registry entries are wrong
- Corruption of the OLV file description inside the Registry
- Unknown Software or another OLV application experienced a flawed installation
- Your OLV file is corrupted (issues with your OnLive! Traveler Sound File file itself)
- Past or present virus infection has affected your OLV
- OLV-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
- Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the OnLive! Traveler Sound File format
