Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the IOP file contents when downloading or copying. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the IOP file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected IOP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the IOP files changes over time. 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged IOP files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted IOP 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. It is best to move IOP to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the IOP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file IOP to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the IOP file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
