How to open EMO file?
The most common problem when using Emoticon is that a specific EMO is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open EMO, 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 EMO 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 Windows Live Messenger
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Windows Live Messenger is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Windows Live Messenger 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 EMO.
Programs to open EMO file
Remember to download programs supporting EMO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Windows Live Messenger with EMO files
If, despite the installed application, the EMO file does not start in the Windows Live Messenger 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the EMO file with the Windows Live Messenger program.
Step 3. Update Windows Live Messenger to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Windows Live Messenger program with the Emoticon 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 Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EMO file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the EMO file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file EMO or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected EMO file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the EMO files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
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 EMO file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted EMO files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move EMO to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file EMO to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the EMO file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
