How to open EL5 file?
An often recurring problem with Easy-PhotoPrint EX Layout is that EL5 is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that EL5 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 EL5 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 Easy-PhotoPrint EX
In this case, you should first verify that the Easy-PhotoPrint EX application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Easy-PhotoPrint EX in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file EL5 with Easy-PhotoPrint EX. Below you will find a list of applications that support EL5 files.
Programs to open EL5 file
Remember to download programs supporting EL5 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Easy-PhotoPrint EX with EL5 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the EL5 file to open in the Easy-PhotoPrint EX application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Easy-PhotoPrint EX application as the default for handling the EL5 file.
Step 3. Update Easy-PhotoPrint EX to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Easy-PhotoPrint EX program, it is possible that Easy-PhotoPrint EX Layout requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Canon Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EL5 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the EL5 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EL5 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected EL5 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the EL5 files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular EL5 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Canon Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file EL5 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 EL5 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the EL5 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the EL5 file again. However, some background programs may block the EL5 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
