The 917 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to 917 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 operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file 917 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected 917 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of 917 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular 917 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Trend Micro Inc. help.

Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the 917 file to another location will fix the problem.
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 917 file again. However, some background programs may block the 917 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
