The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MDO 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 Alcohol 120%

Programs to open MDO file
Remember to download programs supporting MDO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Alcohol 120% with MDO files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MDO file to open in the Alcohol 120% application, but you can set it manually. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MDO file with the Alcohol 120% application.
Step 3. Update Alcohol 120% to the latest version
If, however, after binding Alcohol 120% with Alcohol 120% Split Image there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Alcohol Soft website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MDO file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not 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 MDO file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MDO file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MDO files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of MDO file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MDO file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Alcohol Soft help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MDO 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the MDO file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. 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 MDO file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
