How to open CSMANIFEST file?
The main problem with ICQ 6 Settings is that the CSMANIFEST file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that CSMANIFEST 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 CSMANIFEST 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 NotePad++ text editor
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that NotePad++ text editor is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name NotePad++ text editor in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CSMANIFEST with NotePad++ text editor. Below is a list of programs that support the file CSMANIFEST.
Programs to open CSMANIFEST file
Remember to download programs supporting CSMANIFEST files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of NotePad++ text editor with CSMANIFEST files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CSMANIFEST file still does not use the NotePad++ text editor program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CSMANIFEST file with the NotePad++ text editor program.
Step 3. Update NotePad++ text editor to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the NotePad++ text editor program, it is possible that ICQ 6 Settings requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Notepad++ Team page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CSMANIFEST file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the CSMANIFEST file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CSMANIFEST file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected CSMANIFEST file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of CSMANIFEST 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CSMANIFEST file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact ICQ LLC
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CSMANIFEST 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the CSMANIFEST file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the CSMANIFEST file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CSMANIFEST to close. 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.
