The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CAVS or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected CAVS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of CAVS file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CAVS file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file CAVS 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the CAVS file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the CAVS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CAVS to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
