How to open JOURNAL file?
The most common problem when using Equitrac Cache Format is that a specific JOURNAL is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open JOURNAL, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the JOURNAL 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 Equitrac
The first step is to check if the computer has the Equitrac program installed. To do this, enter the name Equitrac 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 you will find a list of applications that support JOURNAL files.
Programs to open JOURNAL file
Remember to download programs supporting JOURNAL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Equitrac with JOURNAL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the JOURNAL file to open in the Equitrac 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the JOURNAL file with the Equitrac program.
Step 3. Update Equitrac to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Equitrac program with the Equitrac Cache 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 Nuance Communications, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JOURNAL file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the JOURNAL file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 JOURNAL or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover JOURNAL 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 JOURNAL file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular JOURNAL file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file JOURNAL except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the JOURNAL file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file JOURNAL 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.
