Are you receiving a “file not found” error when opening a file?
Posted by sporg
There are two possible reasons for this error.
First thing to do is to find the file you want to open in windows explore. From there use the address bar and count how may characters make up the full path. Then count the characters that make up the name of your file. Add them together and if you have more that 255 char you found your problem. Windows has a built in limit when opening a files that will not allow it to open files that have a full path larger than 255 characters.
The second possible reason is that the file system or the file itself is corrupted. How can this be fixed you may be asking. You need chkdsk. For more info come back and check out our next guide that will show you how to use chkdsk. Or sign up too our RSS feed so that you don’t miss a thing.
