What is ELX file?
The file with the extension ELX is the Document Files file type. The creator of this file is Elixir Technologies Corporation. Document Files consists of 574 similar files. DesignPro Tools Form appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is DesignPro Tools. This was created by Elixir Technologies Corporation.
How to open ELX file?
The most common problem when using DesignPro Tools Form is that a specific ELX is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that ELX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ELX 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 DesignPro Tools
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that DesignPro Tools is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing DesignPro Tools into the operating 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 ELX.
Programs to open ELX file
Remember to download programs supporting ELX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DesignPro Tools with ELX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ELX file still does not use the DesignPro Tools program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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 DesignPro Tools application as the default for handling the ELX file.
Step 3. Update DesignPro Tools to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the DesignPro Tools program, it is possible that DesignPro Tools Form 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 Elixir Technologies Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ELX 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 ELX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ELX file. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ELX or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ELX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of ELX 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ELX files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Elixir Technologies Corporation, 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 ELX 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 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 ELX to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ELX file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
