How to open EFT file?

The main problem with ChiWriter High Resolution Screen Font is that the EFT file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that EFT 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 EFT 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 ChiWriter

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ChiWriter is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name ChiWriter into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file EFT.

Programs to open EFT file

Remember to download programs supporting EFT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of ChiWriter with EFT files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the EFT file to open in the ChiWriter application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ChiWriter application as the default for handling the EFT file.

Step 3. Update ChiWriter to the latest version

If, however, after binding ChiWriter with ChiWriter High Resolution Screen Font there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Cay Horstmann page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EFT 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. This suggests truncating the EFT file contents when downloading or copying. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our EFT file. However, remember that not every infected EFT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the EFT file. 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged EFT files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Cay Horstmann
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file EFT 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the EFT file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the EFT 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 EFT 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.
