What is DEVX file?
The file with the extension DEVX is the Database Files file type. It was designed by Rick Meyers. In addition to this file, the Database Files category includes 403 related files. E-sword Devotional appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is e-Sword. This was created by Rick Meyers.
How to open DEVX file?
The most common problem when using E-sword Devotional is that a specific DEVX is not associated with the program. This causes the file DEVX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DEVX 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 e-Sword
The first step is to check if the computer has the e-Sword program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name e-Sword in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file DEVX.
Programs to open DEVX file
Remember to download programs supporting DEVX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of e-Sword with DEVX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DEVX file to open in the e-Sword application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DEVX file with the e-Sword application.
Step 3. Update e-Sword to the latest version
If, despite the association of the e-Sword program with the E-sword Devotional file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Rick Meyers page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DEVX 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to DEVX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DEVX file. Sometimes virus-infected DEVX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DEVX files changes over time. 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DEVX file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Rick Meyers help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file DEVX 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the DEVX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with 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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DEVX to close. However, some background programs may block the DEVX file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
