What is EDT file?

The EDT file has been categorized as Game Files. The creator of this file is Sega Corporation. Game Files consists of 1509 similar files. Football Manager Mod is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use Windows Notepad to handle this file. This is a program created by Microsoft Corporation. There are also 3 alternative programs to handle the EDT file. You can use Football Manager 2011, Football Manager 2009, Football Manager 2010 in case Windows Notepad cannot be used.

How to open EDT file?

The main problem with Football Manager Mod is that the EDT file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file EDT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EDT 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 Windows Notepad

In this case, you should first verify that the Windows Notepad application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Windows Notepad into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support EDT files.

Step 2. Create association of Windows Notepad with EDT files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the EDT file still does not use the Windows Notepad program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Windows Notepad application as the default for handling the EDT file.

Step 3. Update Windows Notepad to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Windows Notepad program with the Football Manager Mod file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EDT file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The EDT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the EDT file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EDT file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected EDT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the EDT 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged EDT files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Sega Corporation
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted EDT 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 EDT file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file EDT to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the EDT file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
