How to open EFE file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EFE 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 Ensoniq Disk Tools

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Ensoniq Disk Tools is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Ensoniq Disk Tools into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support EFE files.

Step 2. Create association of Ensoniq Disk Tools with EFE files

If, despite the installed application, the EFE file does not start in the Ensoniq Disk Tools application, you must create a file 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the EFE file with the Ensoniq Disk Tools application.

Step 3. Update Ensoniq Disk Tools to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Ensoniq Disk Tools program, it is possible that Ensoniq EPS Format requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EFE file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to EFE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EFE file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected EFE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of EFE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged EFE files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EFE files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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 EFE file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the EFE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file EFE to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
