Step 3. Update Internet Download Manager to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Internet Download Manager program, it is possible that Internet Download Manager Export Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Internet Download Manager, Tonec Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EF2 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 EF2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the EF2 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our EF2 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover EF2 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 EF2 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular EF2 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Tonec, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file EF2 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move EF2 to a different directory.
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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file EF2 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.
