What is FCE file?
The file with the extension FCE is the Misc Files file type. The author of this format is EDrawSoft. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. EDraw Max Format is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is Edraw Max. This was created by EDrawSoft.
How to open FCE file?
The main problem with EDraw Max Format is that the FCE file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that FCE files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FCE 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 Edraw Max
The first step is to check if the computer has the Edraw Max program installed. To do this, enter the name Edraw Max into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open FCE files.
Programs to open FCE file
Remember to download programs supporting FCE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Edraw Max with FCE files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FCE file to open in the Edraw Max application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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 Edraw Max application as the default for handling the FCE file.
Step 3. Update Edraw Max to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Edraw Max program, it is possible that EDraw Max Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the EDrawSoft page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FCE file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The FCE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the FCE file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FCE file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FCE files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of FCE 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 FCE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use EDrawSoft help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FCE 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the FCE file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FCE to close. However, some background programs may block the FCE file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
