The CE file is supported on 2 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the CE files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the CE file on each system platform.
What is CE file?
The file with the extension CE is the Raster Image Files file type. The creator of this file is Digital Vision. Additionally, the Raster Image Files category contains 522 of other files. ComputerEyes Image is supported by 2 operating systems. The file will work on Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use XnView to handle this file. This is a program created by Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet. There are also 2 alternative programs to handle the CE file. Converter Pro will apply when it is not possible to use XnView.
How to open CE file?
An often recurring problem with ComputerEyes Image is that CE is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that CE files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CE 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 XnView
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that XnView is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name XnView in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CE files.
Programs to open CE file
Remember to download programs supporting CE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XnView with CE files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CE file to open in the XnView application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CE file with the XnView program.
Step 3. Update XnView to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the XnView program, it is possible that ComputerEyes Image requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CE 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the CE file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CE file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CE files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of CE 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Digital Vision help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CE 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move CE to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CE file again. 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.
