How to open MACS file?
An often recurring problem with MADRIX Encrypted Script is that MACS is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open MACS, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MACS 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 MADRIX
The first step is to check if the computer has the MADRIX program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name MADRIX in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MACS files.
Programs to open MACS file
Remember to download programs supporting MACS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MADRIX with MACS files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MACS file to open in the MADRIX application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MACS file with the MADRIX application.
Step 3. Update MADRIX to the latest version
If, however, after binding MADRIX with MADRIX Encrypted Script 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 inoage GmbH website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MACS 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 MACS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the MACS file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MACS file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected MACS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of MACS 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 option of recovering data from damaged MACS files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact inoage GmbH
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MACS 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the MACS file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. 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 MACS file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
