Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DOCSTORE file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The DOCSTORE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to DOCSTORE 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DOCSTORE file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected DOCSTORE 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 DOCSTORE 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DOCSTORE files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DOCSTORE 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move DOCSTORE to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the DOCSTORE file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
