How to open 17 file?
The most common problem when using IBM Voice Type Languages Scripts Data is that a specific 17 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open 17, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 17 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 IBM Voice Type
The first step is to check if the computer has the IBM Voice Type program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name IBM Voice Type in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open 17 files.
Programs to open 17 file
Remember to download programs supporting 17 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IBM Voice Type with 17 files
If, despite the installed application, the 17 file does not start in the IBM Voice Type application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the 17 file with the IBM Voice Type program.
Step 3. Update IBM Voice Type to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the IBM Voice Type program, it is possible that IBM Voice Type Languages Scripts Data requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the IBM website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 17 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the 17 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file 17 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected 17 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 17 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair 17 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use IBM help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file 17 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. It is best to move 17 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the 17 file again. However, some background programs may block the 17 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
