MFK file extension
The MFK file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the MFK files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the MFK file on each system platform.
What is MFK file?
The file in the MFK format belongs to the Database Files category. In addition to this file, the Database Files category includes 403 related files. Memsoft OS/2 Database is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on .
How to open MFK file?
The most common problem when using Memsoft OS/2 Database is that a specific MFK is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that MFK files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MFK 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 OS/2
In this case, you should first verify that the OS/2 application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing OS/2 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 MFK files.
Programs to open MFK file
Remember to download programs supporting MFK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of OS/2 with MFK files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MFK file still does not use the OS/2 program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MFK file with the OS/2 application.
Step 3. Update OS/2 to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the OS/2 program, it is possible that Memsoft OS/2 Database requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MFK file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The MFK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MFK file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MFK or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected MFK file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of MFK 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MFK file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MFK 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. Copying the MFK file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MFK to close. However, some background programs may block the MFK file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
