How to open FIO file?
The main problem with Aldus PhotoStyler Graphics Filter is that the FIO file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that FIO 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 FIO 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 PhotoStyler
In this case, you should first verify that the PhotoStyler application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name PhotoStyler in it.

Programs to open FIO file
Remember to download programs supporting FIO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PhotoStyler with FIO files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FIO file to open in the PhotoStyler 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FIO file with the PhotoStyler program.
Step 3. Update PhotoStyler to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the PhotoStyler program, it is possible that Aldus PhotoStyler Graphics Filter requires a newer version of the program.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 Ulead Systems page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FIO file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to FIO 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FIO or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FIO files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FIO file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FIO file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Ulead Systems
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FIO 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. It is best to move FIO to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FIO file again. 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.
