What is ACI file?

The ACI file has been categorized as Misc Files. The creator of this file is ACI. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. ACI Development Appraisal appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is ACI. This was created by ACI.

How to open ACI file?

The main problem with ACI Development Appraisal is that the ACI file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open ACI, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

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

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ACI is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ACI in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ACI with ACI. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ACI files.

Programs to open ACI file

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

Step 2. Create association of ACI with ACI files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ACI file to open in the ACI application, but you can set it manually. 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 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ACI file with the ACI program.

Step 3. Update ACI to the latest version

If, however, after binding ACI with ACI Development Appraisal there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the ACI website and install the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The ACI file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the ACI file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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 ACI or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected ACI file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of ACI file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ACI files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting ACI, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ACI 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move ACI to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the ACI file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
