How to open EQD file?
The most common problem when using EquineMax Data is that a specific EQD is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that EQD 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 EQD 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 EquineMax
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that EquineMax is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name EquineMax in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open EQD files.
Programs to open EQD file
Remember to download programs supporting EQD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of EquineMax with EQD files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the EQD file still does not use the EquineMax program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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 EquineMax application as the default for handling the EQD file.
Step 3. Update EquineMax to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the EquineMax program, it is possible that EquineMax Data requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Cattlesoft, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EQD 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the EQD file. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our EQD file. However, remember that not every infected EQD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of EQD file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular EQD file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Cattlesoft, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EQD 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the EQD file to another location will fix the problem.
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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the EQD file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the EQD file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
