How to open IN3 file?
The most common problem when using Harvard Graphics Input Device Driver is that a specific IN3 is not associated with the program. This causes the file IN3 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IN3 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 Harvard Graphics ChartXL
In this case, you should first verify that the Harvard Graphics ChartXL application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Harvard Graphics ChartXL into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support IN3 files.
Programs to open IN3 file
Remember to download programs supporting IN3 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Harvard Graphics ChartXL with IN3 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the IN3 file still does not use the Harvard Graphics ChartXL program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the IN3 file with the Harvard Graphics ChartXL program.
Step 3. Update Harvard Graphics ChartXL to the latest version
If, however, after binding Harvard Graphics ChartXL with Harvard Graphics Input Device Driver 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 Harvard Graphics website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IN3 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the IN3 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 IN3 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover IN3 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the IN3 file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged IN3 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Harvard Graphics, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file IN3 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. Copying the IN3 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the IN3 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the IN3 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
