How to open ET file?

The main problem with Kingsoft Spreadsheets Format is that the ET file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open ET, 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 ET 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 Kingsoft Spreadsheets

In this case, you should first verify that the Kingsoft Spreadsheets application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Kingsoft Spreadsheets in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support ET files.

Programs to open ET file

Remember to download programs supporting ET files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Kingsoft Spreadsheets with ET files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ET file to open in the Kingsoft Spreadsheets application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 Kingsoft Spreadsheets application as the default for handling the ET file.

Step 3. Update Kingsoft Spreadsheets to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Kingsoft Spreadsheets program with the Kingsoft Spreadsheets Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ET file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ET file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ET or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ET files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of ET file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ET file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ET files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. If possible, you can try to move the ET file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ET file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ET file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ET file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
