Tips to open LO file
Can't open the LO file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open LO files as well as a list of programs that support LO files.

The LO file is supported on 2 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the LO files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the LO file on each system platform.
What is LO file?
The file with the extension LO is the Executable Files file type. The creator of this file is BroadVision. In addition to this file, the Executable Files category includes 140 related files. Interleaf Compiled Lisp Format is most often found on 2 operating systems. The file will work on Linux, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is QuickSilver. This was created by BroadVision. Alternatively, you can use 1 other programs. You can use Interleaf in case QuickSilver cannot be used.
How to open LO file?
The most common problem when using Interleaf Compiled Lisp Format is that a specific LO is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open LO, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LO 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 QuickSilver
The first step is to check if the computer has the QuickSilver program installed. This can be achieved by typing QuickSilver into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open LO files.
Programs to open LO file
Remember to download programs supporting LO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of QuickSilver with LO files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LO file still does not use the QuickSilver program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the LO file with the QuickSilver program.
Step 3. Update QuickSilver to the latest version
If, however, after binding QuickSilver with Interleaf Compiled Lisp Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the BroadVision website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LO 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 LO file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the LO file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the LO file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected LO file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of LO file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair LO file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting BroadVision, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted LO 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the LO file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the LO file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the LO file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
