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

The FTV file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the FTV 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. 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 FTV file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FTV files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of FTV file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 FTV file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use CA Technologies help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FTV 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the FTV file to another location.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FTV file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FTV file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
