The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties.

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to AMOS 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. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file AMOS or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected AMOS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of AMOS file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular AMOS file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact IBM
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file AMOS 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.
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. Copying the AMOS file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file AMOS to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
