Programs to open FAE file
Remember to download programs supporting FAE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Office with FAE files
If, despite the installed application, the FAE file does not start in the Microsoft Office application, you must create a file 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 Microsoft Office application as the default for handling the FAE file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Office to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Office with MS Office 97 Converter DLL there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FAE file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The FAE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the FAE file contents when downloading or copying. 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FAE or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected FAE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the FAE files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FAE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FAE 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the FAE file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FAE file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
