How to open KVA file?
An often recurring problem with KVIrc Compressed Archive Format is that KVA is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that KVA 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 KVA 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 KVIrc
In this case, you should first verify that the KVIrc application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name KVIrc in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file KVA with KVIrc. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open KVA files.
Programs to open KVA file
Remember to download programs supporting KVA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of KVIrc with KVA files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the KVA file still does not use the KVIrc program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the KVIrc application as the default for handling the KVA file.
Step 3. Update KVIrc to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the KVIrc program, it is possible that KVIrc Compressed Archive Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the KVIrc.net website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KVA 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the KVA file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the KVA file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover KVA files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of KVA file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged KVA files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted KVA 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.
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 KVA file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the KVA file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
