How to open FRAMES file?
An often recurring problem with XScope Frames Format is that FRAMES is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open FRAMES, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FRAMES 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 xScope
The first step is to check if the computer has the xScope program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name xScope 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 FRAMES files.
Programs to open FRAMES file
Remember to download programs supporting FRAMES files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of xScope with FRAMES files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FRAMES file still does not use the xScope program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FRAMES file with the xScope application.
Step 3. Update xScope to the latest version
If, despite the association of the xScope program with the XScope Frames Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the The Iconfactory website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FRAMES 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 FRAMES files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FRAMES file. Sometimes virus-infected FRAMES files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of FRAMES file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FRAMES files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact The Iconfactory
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FRAMES 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move FRAMES to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with 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 FRAMES file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FRAMES file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
