How to open FXI file?
The most common problem when using File-Ex Data is that a specific FXI is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open FXI, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FXI 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 File-Ex
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that File-Ex is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name File-Ex into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FXI with File-Ex. Below is a list of programs that support the file FXI.
Programs to open FXI file
Remember to download programs supporting FXI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of File-Ex with FXI files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FXI file to open in the File-Ex application, but you can set it manually. 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 select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FXI file with the File-Ex program.
Step 3. Update File-Ex to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the File-Ex program, it is possible that File-Ex Data requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Cottonwood Software website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FXI 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 is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FXI file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 FXI file. However, remember that not every infected FXI file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the FXI 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 ability to automatically repair FXI file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Cottonwood Software help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FXI 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. If possible, you can try to move the FXI 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the FXI file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
