Can I change the extension of IST files?

If the file has not opened correctly, you have to look for a different software program from our list. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.


What else may cause problems width open a IST file?

The reasons for the lack of the ability to open a IST file on your computer may be at least several. The easiest thing is to find a suitable application installed on your computer, which will open a IST file. If there is still something wrong, you might want to check:

  • Whether the IST file is damaged.
  • Whether the IST file is incorrectly linked in the registry entries.
  • Whether the IST file extension has been accidentally removed from the Windows registry.
  • Whether the installation of an application that supports the IST file format is incompletely.
  • Whether the IST file is infected.
  • Whether the drivers of the equipment used for opening a IST file are up to date.
  • Whether your computer has enough hardware resources to open a IST file.

If the IST file still not working with your software after eliminating the above shortcomings? That means that the problem is more complex and requires the help of a specialist.
