Step 2. Create association of My Family Tree with FAMILYXS files

Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FAMILYXS file with the My Family Tree program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FAMILYXS 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 FAMILYXS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FAMILYXS file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FAMILYXS or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected FAMILYXS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of FAMILYXS 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FAMILYXS file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FAMILYXS except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move FAMILYXS to a different directory.
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 you have to wait for the session to the file FAMILYXS to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
