How to open IX4 file?

The most common problem when using Rebel Chess is that a specific IX4 is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that IX4 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IX4 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 Rebel

In this case, you should first verify that the Rebel application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Rebel into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open IX4 files.

Programs to open IX4 file

Remember to download programs supporting IX4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Rebel with IX4 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the IX4 file still does not use the Rebel 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Rebel application as the default for handling the IX4 file.

Step 3. Update Rebel to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Rebel program, it is possible that Rebel Chess requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Lokasoft website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IX4 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to IX4 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file IX4 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected IX4 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the IX4 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 IX4 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Lokasoft
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IX4 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the IX4 file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file IX4 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
