What is CIS file?
The CIS file has been categorized as Misc Files. It was designed by VicTech Software. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. CheckInbox is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use CheckInbox to handle this file. This is a program created by VicTech Software.
How to open CIS file?
The main problem with CheckInbox is that the CIS file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file CIS to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CIS 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 CheckInbox
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that CheckInbox is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name CheckInbox into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CIS files.
Programs to open CIS file
Remember to download programs supporting CIS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CheckInbox with CIS files
If, despite the installed application, the CIS file does not start in the CheckInbox application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the CheckInbox application as the default for handling the CIS file.
Step 3. Update CheckInbox to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the CheckInbox program, it is possible that CheckInbox requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the VicTech Software website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CIS 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to CIS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CIS file. Sometimes virus-infected CIS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of CIS file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CIS files. You can restore the file from a backup or use VicTech Software help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted CIS files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move CIS to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the CIS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
