However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file 038 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected 038 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the 038 file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.

This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the 038 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the 038 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
