The Microsoft Live Mesh application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Microsoft Corporation.
How to open FNL file?
An often recurring problem with Microsoft Live Mesh is that FNL is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file FNL to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FNL 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 Microsoft Live Mesh
The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Live Mesh program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft Live Mesh in it. 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 FNL files.
Programs to open FNL file
Remember to download programs supporting FNL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Live Mesh with FNL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FNL file to open in the Microsoft Live Mesh 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Live Mesh application as the default for handling the FNL file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Live Mesh to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Live Mesh program, it is possible that Microsoft Live Mesh requires a newer version of the program. 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 FNL 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. This suggests truncating the FNL file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FNL file. Sometimes virus-infected FNL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the FNL 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FNL files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FNL 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. If possible, you can try to move the FNL file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FNL 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.
