What is EDAT file?
The file in the EDAT format belongs to the Data Files category. The creator of this file is Psychology Software Tools. Data Files consists of 1326 similar files. E-DataAid 1.x Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional.
How to open EDAT file?
An often recurring problem with E-DataAid 1.x Format is that EDAT is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that EDAT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EDAT 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 Tools E-Prime
In this case, you should first verify that the Tools E-Prime application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Tools E-Prime in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file EDAT with Tools E-Prime. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open EDAT files.
Programs to open EDAT file
Remember to download programs supporting EDAT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Tools E-Prime with EDAT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the EDAT file still does not use the Tools E-Prime program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 Tools E-Prime application as the default for handling the EDAT file.
Step 3. Update Tools E-Prime to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Tools E-Prime program with the E-DataAid 1.x Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EDAT 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the EDAT 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our EDAT file. Sometimes virus-infected EDAT 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 EDAT 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 EDAT files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted EDAT 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 EDAT file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the EDAT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the EDAT file again. 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.
