How to open 160 file?

The most common problem when using Omnipage Ocr is that a specific 160 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open 160, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 160 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 OmniPage

In this case, you should first verify that the OmniPage application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing OmniPage into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file 160 with OmniPage. Below is a list of programs that support the file 160.

Programs to open 160 file

Remember to download programs supporting 160 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of OmniPage with 160 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the 160 file still does not use the OmniPage 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the 160 file with the OmniPage application.

Step 3. Update OmniPage to the latest version

If, however, after binding OmniPage with Omnipage Ocr there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Nuance Communications, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 160 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the 160 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file 160 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected 160 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the 160 file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged 160 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Nuance Communications, Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted 160 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move 160 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the 160 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 160 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.
