How to open EEK file?
An often recurring problem with Arachne Network-Enabled Script is that EEK is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that EEK files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EEK 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 Arachne
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Arachne is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Arachne 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 EEK files.
Programs to open EEK file
Remember to download programs supporting EEK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Arachne with EEK files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the EEK file to open in the Arachne 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 EEK file with the Arachne application.
Step 3. Update Arachne to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Arachne program with the Arachne Network-Enabled Script 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 EEK file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to EEK files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EEK file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover EEK files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the EEK files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular EEK file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted EEK 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the EEK 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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the EEK file again. However, some background programs may block the EEK file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
