How to open CEI file?
The main problem with CRiSP Harvest is that the CEI file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file CEI to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CEI file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install CRiSP Harvest

Programs to open CEI file
Remember to download programs supporting CEI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CRiSP Harvest with CEI files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CEI file still does not use the CRiSP Harvest program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the CRiSP Harvest application as the default for handling the CEI file.
Step 3. Update CRiSP Harvest to the latest version
If, however, after binding CRiSP Harvest with CRiSP Harvest there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the School of Aquatic & Fishery Sciences, University of Washington website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CEI file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the CEI file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CEI file. Sometimes virus-infected CEI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the CEI files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CEI files. You can restore the file from a backup or use School of Aquatic & Fishery Sciences, University of Washington help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted CEI files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the CEI file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the CEI file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CEI to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
