Step 2. Create association of eMusic/J with EMX files

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EMX 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. This suggests truncating the EMX file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our EMX file. Sometimes virus-infected EMX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the EMX 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular EMX file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file EMX 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. Copying the EMX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the EMX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file EMX to close. However, some background programs may block the EMX file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
