Step 2. Create association of Quicken with LID files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LID file still does not use the Quicken program, it means no association.

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.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LID file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to LID 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. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our LID file. However, remember that not every infected LID file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the LID 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair LID file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Intuit Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LID 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 LID file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the LID file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LID file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
