The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 411 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 XnView
The first step is to check if the computer has the XnView program installed. This can be achieved by typing XnView into the operating system search engine. 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 411 files.
Programs to open 411 file
Remember to download programs supporting 411 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XnView with 411 files
If, despite the installed application, the 411 file does not start in the XnView 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the 411 file with the XnView application.
Step 3. Update XnView to the latest version
If, despite the association of the XnView program with the Mavica Thumbnail Image file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 411 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to 411 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file 411 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected 411 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 411 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 411 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Sony
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted 411 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 411 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the 411 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the 411 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
