What is MI file?
The file in the MI format belongs to the Misc Files category. The author of this format is Oracle Corporation. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. AutoVue Graphic Plugin appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The AutoVue application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Oracle Corporation.
How to open MI file?
The most common problem when using AutoVue Graphic Plugin is that a specific MI is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that MI 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 MI 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 AutoVue
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that AutoVue is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing AutoVue into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file MI with AutoVue. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MI files.
Programs to open MI file
Remember to download programs supporting MI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of AutoVue with MI files
If, despite the installed application, the MI file does not start in the AutoVue application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the AutoVue application as the default for handling the MI file.
Step 3. Update AutoVue to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the AutoVue program, it is possible that AutoVue Graphic Plugin requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Oracle Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MI file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MI file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MI file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected MI file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MI file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MI file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Oracle Corporation
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file MI 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the MI 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 MI to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
