The ID2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ID2 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ID2 file. However, remember that not every infected ID2 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of ID2 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ID2 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ID2 files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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 ID2 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ID2 file again. However, some background programs may block the ID2 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
