Programs to open EQU file
Remember to download programs supporting EQU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of AstroDigital.Net with EQU files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the EQU file still does not use the AstroDigital.Net program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the EQU file with the AstroDigital.Net program.
Step 3. Update AstroDigital.Net to the latest version
If, however, after binding AstroDigital.Net with AstroDigital.Net Equipment there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EQU 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the EQU file. 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file EQU or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover EQU files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of EQU 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.
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 EQU file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EQU 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move EQU to a different directory.
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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file EQU to close. However, some background programs may block the EQU file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
