LAP Troubleshooting

Typical LAP Opening Challenges

Missing Sublime Text

You attempt to load your LAP file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The LAP File Extension". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Sublime Text isn't installed on your PC. Your operating system cannot associate your LAP with Sublime Text, so double-clicking the file won't work.

Tip: When another LAP application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.

Incorrect Sublime Text Version

It is possible that your version of Sublime Text isn't able to open your Scheme Source Code file due to incompatibility. Visit the Sublime HQ Pty Ltd website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Sublime Text. This issue mainly occurs when your Scheme Source Code file was created by a newer version of Sublime Text than you have on your PC.

Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your LAP file and clicking "Properties".

Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening LAP files are due to having the wrong version of Sublime Text installed.

More Causes of Problems Opening LAPs

Errors opening Scheme Source Code files can still occur even with the latest Sublime Text software installed on your computer. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening LAPs. Other contributing causes:

• Windows Registry LAP file paths that are incorrect
• The LAP file description within the Windows Registry was removed
• Sublime Text or another LAP application experienced a flawed installation
• Your LAP file is corrupted (issues with your Scheme Source Code file itself)
• The LAP is infected with a virus
• LAP-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
• Insufficient system resources to successfully open Scheme Source Code files
