Programs to open EDV file
Remember to download programs supporting EDV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Ensoniq Disk Tools with EDV files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the EDV file still does not use the Ensoniq Disk Tools program, it means no association. 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 select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the EDV file with the Ensoniq Disk Tools program.
Step 3. Update Ensoniq Disk Tools to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Ensoniq Disk Tools program with the Ensoniq VFX-SD Disk Image 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 EDV 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. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the EDV file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 EDV or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected EDV file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the EDV 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular EDV file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EDV files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the EDV file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file EDV to close. However, some background programs may block the EDV file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
