How to open ESV file?
The main problem with Principia Stock Research Document is that the ESV file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file ESV to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ESV 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 Principia
The first step is to check if the computer has the Principia program installed. To do this, enter the name Principia 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 you will find a list of applications that support ESV files.
Programs to open ESV file
Remember to download programs supporting ESV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Principia with ESV files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ESV file still does not use the Principia 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 ESV file with the Principia program.
Step 3. Update Principia to the latest version
If, however, after binding Principia with Principia Stock Research Document there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Morningstar website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ESV file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The ESV file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ESV file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 ESV file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ESV files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of ESV file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ESV file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Morningstar
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ESV 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. If possible, you can try to move the ESV file to another location.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ESV file again. However, some background programs may block the ESV file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
