What is KX file?

The file with the extension KX is the Developer Files file type. Developer Files consists of 1205 similar files. KiXtart Tokenized Script Format is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is kX Project. This was created by Eugene Gavrilov.

How to open KX file?

The most common problem when using KiXtart Tokenized Script Format is that a specific KX is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that KX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KX 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 kX Project

The first step is to check if the computer has the kX Project program installed. To do this, enter the name kX Project into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open KX files.

Programs to open KX file

Remember to download programs supporting KX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of kX Project with KX files

If, despite the installed application, the KX file does not start in the kX Project 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 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the KX file with the kX Project application.

Step 3. Update kX Project to the latest version

If, however, after binding kX Project with KiXtart Tokenized Script Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Eugene Gavrilov website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KX file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the KX file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our KX file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover KX 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 KX files changes over time. 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.
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 KX file corruption. 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 can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted KX files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move KX to a different directory.
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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the KX file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the KX file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
