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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the FXTC file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FXTC or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected FXTC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FXTC file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FXTC file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Adobe Systems Incorporated help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FXTC 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 FXTC to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FXTC file again. However, some background programs may block the FXTC file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
