I’ve tried opening files that I have used without problem in another computer and I keep geting the following error messages:

Im using Paraview 5.10.1, but I have tried on 5.11 and the same happens.
The files have been used on other devices and came out with no errors so I guess It has something to do with my configuration or installation. Any ideas of what can be happening?
Thanks.

Not for me. I still having the same error messages qith the ‘Algorithm vtkFileSeriesReader’.
I’ve already tried with al versions, and all downloading extensions.zip.exe .msi …

My only guess is configuration files have gone sick. On windows I believe they are at c:/Users/userName/AppData/Roaming/ParaView. Note that AppData is hidden. Delete everything in here, and then try again.
