Step 1. Install General Electric 4D View
The first step is to check if the computer has the General Electric 4D View program installed.

Programs to open 4DV file
Remember to download programs supporting 4DV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of General Electric 4D View with 4DV files
If, despite the installed application, the 4DV file does not start in the General Electric 4D View application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the 4DV file with the General Electric 4D View application.
Step 3. Update General Electric 4D View to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the General Electric 4D View program, it is possible that 4D View Ultrasound Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 4DV file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the 4DV file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our 4DV file. Sometimes virus-infected 4DV files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of 4DV file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged 4DV files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted 4DV 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. 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 4DV file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the 4DV file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
