How to open EPIM file?
The most common problem when using EssentialPIM Data is that a specific EPIM is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open EPIM, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EPIM 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 EssentialPIM
The first step is to check if the computer has the EssentialPIM program installed. This can be achieved by typing EssentialPIM 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 EPIM.
Programs to open EPIM file
Remember to download programs supporting EPIM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of EssentialPIM with EPIM files
If, despite the installed application, the EPIM file does not start in the EssentialPIM 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the EssentialPIM application as the default for handling the EPIM file.
Step 3. Update EssentialPIM to the latest version
If, despite the association of the EssentialPIM program with the EssentialPIM Data 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 Astonsoft Ltd. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EPIM file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the EPIM file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EPIM file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover EPIM files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the EPIM files changes over time. 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 EPIM file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Astonsoft Ltd. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EPIM files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the EPIM file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file EPIM to close. However, some background programs may block the EPIM file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
