How to open INK file?
An often recurring problem with Mimio Ink Data Format is that INK is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that INK 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 INK 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 MimioStudio
The first step is to check if the computer has the MimioStudio program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name MimioStudio in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support INK files.
Programs to open INK file
Remember to download programs supporting INK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MimioStudio with INK files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the INK file to open in the MimioStudio application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the MimioStudio application as the default for handling the INK file.
Step 3. Update MimioStudio to the latest version
If, despite the association of the MimioStudio program with the Mimio Ink Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the mimio website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the INK file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. 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 INK file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the INK file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover INK 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 INK 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged INK files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Mimio
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted INK 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 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 INK file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the INK file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
