Crystal,

Does your VSI structure have sub-folders with .ETS files in them?
If it does, you have large multi-scale image structure and you need
specialty software to handle it.

Olympus provides free Windows software for viewing those files called
OlyVIA, you can download it  here:

Beyond that,  I don't know any third-party software that can handle large
complex VSI structures correctly. (if image is small than .vsi file
contains actual image pixel array and LOCI can read it )

Our engineers spent last 3 months working with Olympus software team out of
Germany to implement proper support for large VSI files on our Simagis Live
Servers and we are still not quite there yet. I can keep you updated on the
progress if you are interested.
