Troubleshoot LEXT Files
Frequent LEXT Opening Issues
Unknown Software Not Present
You attempt to load your LEXT file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The LEXT File Extension". When this happens, it is commonly due to Unknown Software missing in %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your LEXT because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.
Tip: If you don't have Unknown Software installed, and you know of another program to open your LEXT file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".
Outdated Unknown Software
It is possible that your version of Unknown Software isn't able to open your Olympus Lext Measurement Export file due to incompatibility. If you've got the wrong version of Unknown Software installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This problem is predominately due to having a Olympus Lext Measurement Export file version that was created by a newer version of Unknown Software than what you have installed on your PC.
Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the LEXT file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.
Conclusion: The majority of LEXT file opening issues are due to not having the correct Unknown Software version installed.
Additional LEXT Opening Issues
Even with the correct version of Unknown Software installed, you can still experience difficulties opening LEXTs. If you are continuing to have errors with loading LEXT files, other external issues might be to blame. Other contributing causes:
- Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for LEXT
- Deletion of the LEXT file description from the Registry by mistake
- Defective install of a LEXT program, such as Unknown Software
- File corruption affecting your LEXT file
- Your LEXT is infected with malware
- Device drivers for LEXT-related hardware are out-of-date
- Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the Olympus Lext Measurement Export file
