How to open IXI file?
The most common problem when using IxiQuarks Preferences is that a specific IXI is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open IXI, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IXI 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 ixiQuarks
In this case, you should first verify that the ixiQuarks application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name ixiQuarks into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file IXI.
Programs to open IXI file
Remember to download programs supporting IXI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ixiQuarks with IXI files
If, despite the installed application, the IXI file does not start in the ixiQuarks application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the IXI file with the ixiQuarks application.
Step 3. Update ixiQuarks to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ixiQuarks program, it is possible that IxiQuarks Preferences requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the ixi software page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IXI file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The IXI file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the IXI file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file IXI or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected IXI file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the IXI file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair IXI file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact ixi software
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IXI 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the IXI file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the IXI file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the IXI file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the IXI file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
