SCRIPT Troubleshooting

Common SCRIPT Opening Problems

LibreOffice Isn't There

If you attempt to load your SCRIPT file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open SCRIPT Files". If so, it typically means that you don't have LibreOffice installed for %%os%%. The typical path of opening your SCRIPT with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.

Tip: Another SCRIPT-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.

Incorrect LibreOffice Version

Your Generic Script File file is incompatible with LibreOffice because you might have the wrong version installed. Installing the latest version of LibreOffice from The Document Foundation is recommended. This issue mainly occurs when your Generic Script File file was created by a newer version of LibreOffice than you have on your PC.

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

Regardless, most of the SCRIPT file opening problems relate to not having the right version of LibreOffice installed.

Other SCRIPT File Issues

Although you might already have LibreOffice or another SCRIPT-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Generic Script File files. Other SCRIPT opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Other contributing causes:

• File references in the Windows Registry for SCRIPT are wrong
• Accidental deletion of the description of the SCRIPT file in the Windows registry
• Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the SCRIPT format
• Something has caused file corruption of your SCRIPT
• Your SCRIPT is infected with malware
• Device drivers for SCRIPT-related hardware are out-of-date
• Too many applications are open on your PC to load your Generic Script File file successfully
