Troubleshoot GM Files

Common GM Opening Problems

Microsoft Notepad Disappeared

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open GM Files" when trying to open your GM. If so, it typically means that you don't have Microsoft Notepad installed for %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your GM with Microsoft Notepad, so double-clicking the file won't work.

Tip: If you know of another program that can open your GM file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.

Incorrect Microsoft Notepad Version

Your GameMonkey Script file is incompatible with Microsoft Notepad because you might have the wrong version installed. If you've got the wrong version of Microsoft Notepad installed, you'll need to install the correct version. Most of the time your GameMonkey Script file was created by a newer Microsoft Notepad than what you have installed.

Tip: Right-clicking on your GM, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.

Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening GM files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.

Other GM File Opening Causes

Although you might already have Microsoft Notepad or another GM-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening GameMonkey Script files. If you are continuing to have errors with loading GM files, other external issues might be to blame. Other contributing causes:

• Windows Registry GM file paths that are incorrect
• Mistaken removal of the Windows registry GM description
• Corrupt install of Microsoft Notepad or other GM-related program
• Something has caused file corruption of your GM
• GM file integrity has been compromised by malware
• Hardware related to GMs has device driver corruption
• Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the GameMonkey Script format
