Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MGO 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to MGO files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MGO or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected MGO files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MGO 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MGO files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Mariner Software help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MGO except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. It is best to move MGO to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the MGO 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. However, some background programs may block the MGO file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
