The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EEA 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the EEA file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the EEA file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file EEA to close. 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.
