Programs to open ADI file
Remember to download programs supporting ADI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Active@ Disk Image with ADI files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ADI file to open in the Active@ Disk Image application, but you can set it manually. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 ADI file with the Active@ Disk Image program.
Step 3. Update Active@ Disk Image to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Active@ Disk Image program, it is possible that Active@ Disk Image Backup Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ADI file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The ADI file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ADI file. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ADI or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected ADI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ADI files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ADI file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ADI 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move ADI to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the ADI file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
