How to open EGX file?
An often recurring problem with EasyGrapher Design Format is that EGX is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open EGX, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EGX 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 EasyGrapher
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that EasyGrapher is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name EasyGrapher in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file EGX with EasyGrapher. Below you will find a list of applications that support EGX files.
Programs to open EGX file
Remember to download programs supporting EGX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of EasyGrapher with EGX files
If, despite the installed application, the EGX file does not start in the EasyGrapher application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the EGX file with the EasyGrapher program.
Step 3. Update EasyGrapher to the latest version
If, despite the association of the EasyGrapher program with the EasyGrapher Design Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Davis Computer Service page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EGX file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to EGX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 EGX file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected EGX 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 EGX file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair EGX file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , 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 EGX 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.
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. It is best to move EGX to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the EGX file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
