If you are having a problem with Vixen not opening when you navigate to your sequences folder and double click on a sequence, when Vixen is not yet running, it could be a .vix file association problem. To correct the problem follow the directions below. These directions are for Windows XP SP2.

  • Click on Start, All Programs, Accessories, Windows Explorer.

  • Click on Tools, Folder Options

  • Click on File Types

  • Scroll down to VIX

  • Highlight VIX by clicking on it

  • Click Advanced. If you do not see an Advanced button you will see a Restore button. Click Restore then re highlight VIX, Click Advanced and proceed.

  • One by one select each of the actions listed except open. There may only be open but if there are more we only need the open action.

  • Highlight open

  • Click Edit

  • Click Browse

  • Now navigate to the Vixen.exe file in your Vixen 2.0 program folder

  • Highlight the Vixen.exe file

  • Click Open

  • Click OK

  • Click OK, again

  • Click Close

  • Now close out all remaining windows

  • Navigate to the folder containing your Vixen 2.0 Sequences

  • Double click on a sequence and Vixen 2.0 should start and open the sequence file.

Good Luck and may the Force be with you!
