What is EDAT2 file?
The EDAT2 file has been categorized as Data Files. The author of this format is Psychology Software Tools. Data Files consists of 1326 similar files. E-DataAid 2.0 Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows.

How to open EDAT2 file?
The main problem with E-DataAid 2.0 Format is that the EDAT2 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file EDAT2 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 EDAT2 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-Prime
The first step is to check if the computer has the E-Prime program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name E-Prime in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open EDAT2 files.
Programs to open EDAT2 file
Remember to download programs supporting EDAT2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of E-Prime with EDAT2 files
If, despite the installed application, the EDAT2 file does not start in the E-Prime application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the EDAT2 file with the E-Prime program.
Step 3. Update E-Prime to the latest version
If, however, after binding E-Prime with E-DataAid 2.0 Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Psychology Software Tools, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EDAT2 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The EDAT2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the EDAT2 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EDAT2 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected EDAT2 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the EDAT2 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular EDAT2 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Psychology Software Tools, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted EDAT2 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. It is best to move EDAT2 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 EDAT2 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
