What is ADOX file?
The file in the ADOX format belongs to the Data Files category. The creator of this file is ActivDox. Additionally, the Data Files category contains 1326 of other files. ActivDox Document appears on 3 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Android, iOS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. This file type can also be opened by 2 other programs. The ActivDox programs will also handle the file when the ADoxReader program does not fulfill its role.
How to open ADOX file?
The most common problem when using ActivDox Document is that a specific ADOX is not associated with the program. This causes the file ADOX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ADOX 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 ADoxReader
The first step is to check if the computer has the ADoxReader program installed. This can be achieved by typing ADoxReader into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ADOX with ADoxReader. Below is a list of programs that support the file ADOX.
Programs to open ADOX file
Remember to download programs supporting ADOX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ADoxReader with ADOX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ADOX file to open in the ADoxReader application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ADoxReader application as the default for handling the ADOX file.
Step 3. Update ADoxReader to the latest version
If, however, after binding ADoxReader with ActivDox Document there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ADOX file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The ADOX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ADOX file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ADOX or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected ADOX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ADOX files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ADOX file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ADOX 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move ADOX to a different directory.
This problem usually affects 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. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ADOX file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
