Step 2. Create association of Image Eye with IEI files
If, despite the installed application, the IEI file does not start in the Image Eye application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the IEI file with the Image Eye application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IEI file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The IEI file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the IEI file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file IEI or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover IEI files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of IEI file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair IEI file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact FMJ-Software
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted IEI 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move IEI to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the IEI file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the IEI file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the IEI file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
