How to open IV2I file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IV2I 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 Norton Ghost

If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file IV2I.
Programs to open IV2I file
Remember to download programs supporting IV2I files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Norton Ghost with IV2I files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the IV2I file to open in the Norton Ghost application, but you can set it manually. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the IV2I file with the Norton Ghost application.
Step 3. Update Norton Ghost to the latest version
If, however, after binding Norton Ghost with Norton Ghost Incremental Virtual Volume Image 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 Symantec Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IV2I file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The IV2I file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the IV2I 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file IV2I or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected IV2I files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of IV2I 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair IV2I file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Symantec help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IV2I 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the IV2I 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
