How to open FEA file?

The most common problem when using FilZip Data Format is that a specific FEA is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that FEA files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FEA 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 FilZip

The first step is to check if the computer has the FilZip program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name FilZip in it. 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 FEA files.

Step 2. Create association of FilZip with FEA files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FEA file still does not use the FilZip 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FEA file with the FilZip application.

Step 3. Update FilZip to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the FilZip program, it is possible that FilZip Data Format requires a newer version of the program.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The FEA file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to FEA files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FEA file. However, remember that not every infected FEA file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of FEA 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FEA file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FEA 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the FEA file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FEA to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FEA file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
