How to open LXV file?

The most common problem when using Lexar Secure II Encrypted Archive is that a specific LXV is not associated with the program. This causes the file LXV to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LXV 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 Lexar Secure II

Programs to open LXV file

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

Step 2. Create association of Lexar Secure II with LXV files

If, despite the installed application, the LXV file does not start in the Lexar Secure II 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 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Lexar Secure II application as the default for handling the LXV file.

Step 3. Update Lexar Secure II to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Lexar Secure II program, it is possible that Lexar Secure II Encrypted Archive requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Lexar Media, Inc. website and install the latest version.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The LXV file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to LXV 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the LXV file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected LXV file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of LXV 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.
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 LXV file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Lexar Media, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LXV files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. If possible, you can try to move the LXV 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. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LXV file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
