How to open EFAX file?
An often recurring problem with Everex EFax Fax Document is that EFAX is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that EFAX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EFAX 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 eFax

Programs to open EFAX file
Remember to download programs supporting EFAX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of eFax with EFAX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the EFAX file still does not use the eFax 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the EFAX file with the eFax application.
Step 3. Update eFax to the latest version
If, despite the association of the eFax program with the Everex EFax Fax Document file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the j2 Global, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EFAX file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. 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 EFAX file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EFAX file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected EFAX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the EFAX 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair EFAX file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EFAX 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the EFAX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the EFAX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the EFAX file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the EFAX file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
