How to open GEV file?
The most common problem when using GelEval Document Format is that a specific GEV is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that GEV files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GEV 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 GelEval
The first step is to check if the computer has the GelEval program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name GelEval in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file GEV.
Programs to open GEV file
Remember to download programs supporting GEV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GelEval with GEV files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the GEV file to open in the GelEval 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. 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 GEV file with the GelEval application.
Step 3. Update GelEval to the latest version
If, however, after binding GelEval with GelEval Document Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the FrogDance Software website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GEV file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GEV file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the GEV file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected GEV files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of GEV file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GEV file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GEV 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the GEV file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the GEV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file GEV to close. However, some background programs may block the GEV file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
