How to open COPY file?
The main problem with Sony Ericsson Protected Content Format is that the COPY file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open COPY, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the COPY 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 Sony Ericsson DRM Packager
In this case, you should first verify that the Sony Ericsson DRM Packager application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Sony Ericsson DRM Packager 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 COPY files.
Programs to open COPY file
Remember to download programs supporting COPY files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Sony Ericsson DRM Packager with COPY files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the COPY file still does not use the Sony Ericsson DRM Packager program, it means no 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 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Sony Ericsson DRM Packager application as the default for handling the COPY file.
Step 3. Update Sony Ericsson DRM Packager to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Sony Ericsson DRM Packager program, it is possible that Sony Ericsson Protected Content Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the COPY file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The COPY file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to COPY files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file COPY or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected COPY files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of COPY 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair COPY file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file COPY 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move COPY to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. 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.
