How to open LIV file?
The most common problem when using Living Actor Actor is that a specific LIV is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open LIV, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LIV 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 Living Actor
In this case, you should first verify that the Living Actor application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Living Actor into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support LIV files.
Programs to open LIV file
Remember to download programs supporting LIV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Living Actor with LIV files
If, despite the installed application, the LIV file does not start in the Living Actor application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Living Actor application as the default for handling the LIV file.
Step 3. Update Living Actor to the latest version
If, however, after binding Living Actor with Living Actor Actor there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Cantoche website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LIV file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the LIV file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our LIV file. Sometimes virus-infected LIV files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the LIV file. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular LIV file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Cantoche, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LIV 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the LIV file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LIV to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LIV file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
