How to open KIN file?
An often recurring problem with Kinetic Music Project is that KIN is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file KIN to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KIN 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 Kinetic
The first step is to check if the computer has the Kinetic program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Kinetic in it. 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 KIN files.
Programs to open KIN file
Remember to download programs supporting KIN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Kinetic with KIN files
If, despite the installed application, the KIN file does not start in the Kinetic application, you must create a file association. 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 select the desired program. 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 KIN file with the Kinetic program.
Step 3. Update Kinetic to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Kinetic program with the Kinetic Music Project file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KIN file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The KIN file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the KIN file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the KIN file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected KIN files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the KIN 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular KIN file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted KIN 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 KIN file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the KIN file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file KIN to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the KIN file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
