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.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The APA file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the APA file. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file APA or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected APA 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 APA 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged APA files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file APA 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the APA file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the APA file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the APA file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the APA file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
