How to open --- file?
The most common problem when using Microsoft Backup Format Set is that a specific --- is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that --- files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the --- 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 Microsoft Windows
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft Windows is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Microsoft Windows into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file --- with Microsoft Windows. Below you will find a list of applications that support --- files.
Programs to open --- file
Remember to download programs supporting --- files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows with --- files
If, despite the installed application, the --- file does not start in the Microsoft Windows application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 Microsoft Windows application as the default for handling the --- file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Windows to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Windows program with the Microsoft Backup Format Set 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 --- 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the --- file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our --- file. Sometimes virus-infected --- 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 --- files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular --- file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file --- except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the --- 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file --- to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
