Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AVJ 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to AVJ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AVJ file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected AVJ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of AVJ 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair AVJ file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file AVJ 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. If possible, you can try to move the AVJ file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the AVJ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file AVJ to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the AVJ file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
