What is ECH file?
The file with the extension ECH is the Misc Files file type. The author of this format is SourceForge.net. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files.

The main program that supports this format is EasyChem. This was created by SourceForge.net.
How to open ECH file?
The main problem with EasyChem Save is that the ECH file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file ECH to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ECH 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 EasyChem
In this case, you should first verify that the EasyChem application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing EasyChem into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ECH with EasyChem. Below you will find a list of applications that support ECH files.
Programs to open ECH file
Remember to download programs supporting ECH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of EasyChem with ECH files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ECH file to open in the EasyChem application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ECH file with the EasyChem application.
Step 3. Update EasyChem to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the EasyChem program, it is possible that EasyChem Save requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the SourceForge.net website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ECH file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The ECH file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to ECH files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ECH or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected ECH files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ECH file. 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 ability to automatically repair ECH file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting SourceForge.net, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ECH 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the ECH file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 ECH to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ECH file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
