Step 2. Create association of Windows Notepad with LEGAL files

If, despite the installed application, the LEGAL file does not start in the Windows Notepad 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 LEGAL file with the Windows Notepad program.

Step 3. Update Windows Notepad to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Windows Notepad program with the DaveTech Legal Document file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.

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 suggests truncating the LEGAL file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our LEGAL file. However, remember that not every infected LEGAL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the LEGAL file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair LEGAL file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact DaveTech
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted LEGAL 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. Copying the LEGAL file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the LEGAL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LEGAL to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LEGAL file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
