How to open KEV file?
An often recurring problem with JAWS Preload is that KEV is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that KEV files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KEV 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 JAWS
In this case, you should first verify that the JAWS application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name JAWS into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file KEV with JAWS. Below you will find a list of applications that support KEV files.
Programs to open KEV file
Remember to download programs supporting KEV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of JAWS with KEV files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the KEV file to open in the JAWS application, but you can set it manually. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the KEV file with the JAWS program.
Step 3. Update JAWS to the latest version
If, despite the association of the JAWS program with the JAWS Preload file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Freedom Scientific, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KEV file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to KEV files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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 KEV or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover KEV files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the KEV 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular KEV file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Freedom Scientific, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted KEV 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move KEV to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with 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 KEV to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the KEV file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
