How to open MFV file?
The most common problem when using MobileFrame Device Pack Format is that a specific MFV is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open MFV, 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 MFV 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 MobileFrame Desktop
In this case, you should first verify that the MobileFrame Desktop application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name MobileFrame Desktop into the 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 MFV files.
Programs to open MFV file
Remember to download programs supporting MFV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MobileFrame Desktop with MFV files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MFV file to open in the MobileFrame Desktop application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MFV file with the MobileFrame Desktop program.
Step 3. Update MobileFrame Desktop to the latest version
If, despite the association of the MobileFrame Desktop program with the MobileFrame Device Pack Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MFV file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The MFV file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MFV 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. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MFV file. Sometimes virus-infected MFV files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MFV file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MFV file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MFV 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 MFV file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the MFV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
